That was a kernel that someone modified to include patches that aren't
"upstream" (yet - at least when it was discussed). Normally the image
you're using should have ethernet support for the first eth port, but
not for the additional ethernet ports (aka the embedded switch)
I don't have myself such bananapiR1 model to test against, but as it was
a kind of a "grey area" about the patches/tools for the additional
ports, it wasn't built/included at the centos side.

Wondering if the previous patches can still apply on our 4.4.x branch
and if someone willing to rebuild it with those patches would be an
option or not
