(I assume you're talking about Pine64 -- PineBook has no GBe, being more a SoPine than Pine64.) Works for me fine with the new dmac-sun8i driver -- in fact, achieves a better speed as the amd64 machine next to it. The old near-mainline driver, sun8i-emac, gave only ~60% of theoretical speed but otherwise worked without a hitch (using Icenowy's patchset). I have no idea about the BSP kernel.
