That's not what the Pine64 folks want. They want the forums full of redundant threads/questions and that wrong information is spread.

It took longsleep just a few days between the first reports of Ethernet problems with 2GB boards and finding the bug (untested Allwinner code as Patrick already explained -- the whole thing has nothing to do with DMA) and providing a fix. Since longsleep also cares about the people using his work he updated his own images and made the fix available for all OS images that rely on his basic work (in other words: all publicly available). So the Pine64 folks could simply update their Arch image (which is also the only Linux based that's affected by this specific bug!), remove the warning and add the instructions how to update OS images to a user oriented FAQ (not existing at the moment)

Unfortunately they don't care. They do not even provide a quickstart guide and countless users waste hours of their lives to get their boards booting.
