I have the same patch in my T7 work and checked it against the amlogic 
device trees: meson6 and meson8m2 use the two entry form, the rest add 
snps,dwmac-3.70a. dt_binding_check and dtbs_check are clean. The example 
needs fixing.

Xianwei, from my VIM4: the MAC reports Synopsys ID 0x51, DWMAC_CORE_5_10
in common.h, so the core is 5.10a, not 4.00. And the controller reaches
DRAM through a pipeline stage. Nothing claims its gate, sys_ampipe_eth,
so clk_disable_unused switches it off. My node lists it as a fourth
clock. Does the AN400 differ?

I will send my series today so the code is on the list. Not a race: I
will drop or rebase whatever overlaps once you tell me.

Thanks,
Lucas
