I'm not claiming to understand this..  But according to the
pseudo-datasheet I got for MT7621, the "Normal mode" for most pins is
the SoC function (e.g rgmii2) and not gpio. This maps to setting the
associated mode register selector bit(s) to 0.  Which I believe is the
default state?

My interpretation is that the pins will be configured for rgmii2 unless
something explicitly sets them to gpio.  So I'd say rgmii2 should work
unless the bootloader messed up things for us.

But of course, explicit mapping is even safer.  So by all means, merge
this patch set.  Just wondered about the "will start working" statement.
