[PATCH net-next v3 0/2] Add MxL Ethernet driver & devicetree binding

[Jack Ping CHNG <jchng@maxlinear.com>]

Hello netdev maintainers,

This patch series adds support for the MaxLinear LGM SoC's Ethernet
controller, including:

Patch 1: Introduces the devicetree binding documentation for the MaxLinear
LGM Network Processor.
Patch 2: Adds build infrastructure and the main driver for the MaxLinear
LGM SoC Ethernet controller.

The driver supports multi-port operation and is integrated with standard
Linux network device driver framework. The devicetree binding documents
the required properties for the hardware description.

Changelog:
v2 -> v3:
  - Renamed compatible string and YAML filename to maxlinear.
  - Changed child nodes to ethernet-ports with port@N.
  - Added reg and mdio properties.
  - Added schema references for port and mdio.
  - Updated required properties and example.
  - Add resource management and better error handling
  - Improved device tree integration for multiple ports

v1 -> v2:
  - Moved devicetree bindings to the first patch in the series.
  - Verified bindings with 'make dt_binding_check DT_SCHEMA_FILES=mxl,lgm-eth.yaml'.
  - Reformatted commit messages to follow Linux kernel submission guidelines.
  - Removed redundant code and addressed all reviewer comments.
