Hi Serge, Thank you for your code review. I have different views here: If we only support the gmac controller in one specific SoC, these detailed information is nice to have, but what about if the driver/dt-binding supports the gmac controller in different SoCs? These detailed information will be outdated. what's more, I think the purpose of dt-binding is different from the one of documentation. So I prefer to put these GMAC IP related detailed information into the SoC's dtsi commit msg rather than polluting the dt-binding. > > > + > > +maintainers: > > + - Jisheng Zhang > > + > > +select: > > + properties: > > + compatible: > > + contains: > > + enum: > > > + - thead,th1520-dwmac > > Referring to the DW IP-core in the compatible string isn't very > much useful especially seeing you have a generic fallback compatible. > Name like "thead,th1520-gmac" looks more informative indicating its > speed capability. This is just to follow the common style as those dwmac-* does. I'm not sure which is better, but personally, I'd like to keep current common style.
