kgdb over ethernet never made it to mainline. You have use only kgdb
over serial. Out of tree patch for kgdb over ethernet should be
available (just a guess as it was available for older versions of
kernel) check that out. If available patch the kernel and use kgdb
over ethernet else use kgdb over serial.
