I forgot to add "snps,dwmac-3.710" to this list, I will do it in V2 patch.

I agree with you, But the new chips should/will have different version
numbers, so having the version number in the compatible string should
make it possible for cores without PMT module to not set pmt or any
other properties.

Are you happy with the setting pmt based on compatible string or do you
think passing pmt as another property to device tree makes more sense?
