[PATCH] dt-bindings: net: ti,davinci-emac: Convert to DT schema

[Bhargav Joshi]

Convert Texas Instruments DaVinci EMAC binding from text to DT schema.

Changes from the original binding:
- Add clocks, clock-names, syscon, power-domains, and ti,hwmods
  properties that are used in existing DTS files but were undocumented.
- Disallow syscon and clock-names for ti,davinci-dm6467-emac since they
  are not applicable to that SoC.
- Allow 1-2 reg entries (DM816 uses two).
- Make clocks a required property as driver probe fails without it.
- Mark ti,hwmods as deprecated.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:

dt-bindings: net: ti,davinci-emac: Convert to DT schema

Convert Texas Instruments DaVinci EMAC binding from text to DT schema.
Updates the binding to include previously undocumented properties, modifies
required properties, and marks hwmods as deprecated.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but did this commit miss deleting the original text
binding?

Looking at the tree, Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/davinci_emac.txt
is still present. Conversions to DT schema typically remove the old .txt
file in the same patch to prevent having duplicate documentation.

## Form letter - net-next-closed

The merge window for v7.3 has started, and therefore net-next is closed
for new drivers, features, code refactoring and optimizations.
We will only consider applying net-next patches which were posted
before the announcement:

https://lore.kernel.org/20260816155953.072d73da@kernel.org

Fixes are obviously welcome at any time. net-next patches may be sent
for review and discussion only with an RFC tag.

Please repost when net-next reopens.

See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/next/process/maintainer-netdev.html#development-cycle
