Hi Paolo, Mark, Arnd

I'd like to have your attentions, see below

I've sent out the PR of DT changes to SoC tree for inclusion, see 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250919055525-GYC5766558@gentoo.org/

There is a potential conflict with commit from net-next:
 e32dc7a936b11e437298bcc4601476befcbcb88f ("riscv: dts: spacemit: Add Ethernet support for Jupiter")

the conflict itself is quite trivial, and should be easy to fix, and I'm also
personally fine to have it solved in net-next tree if Arnd has no objection

But if need assistance from my side, just let me know - I can handle it
- if the ethernet DT patches can be reverted from net-next
- I can apply them at SpacemiT SoC tree
- send a incremental v2 PR to the SoC tree
