[PATCH net-next 00/16] dt-bindings: net: dwmac: Extend clocks, props desc and constraints

[Serge Semin <Sergey.Semin@baikalelectronics.ru>]

This patchset is the fourth one in the series of updates implemented in
the framework of activity to simplify the DW MAC/STMMAC driver code and
provide Baikal GMAC/X-GMAC support after all:

Here is a short summary of what is introduced in this patchset.

The series starts with fixes of the PBL (Programmable DMA Burst length)
DT-property, which is supposed to be defined for each DW *MAC IP-core, but
not only for a Allwinner sun* and Ingenic GMAC and DW xGMAC. The number of
possible PBL values need to be also extended in accordance with the DW
*MAC manual. Then the TSO flag property should be also declared free of
the vendor-specific conditional schema, because the driver expects the
compatible string to have the IP-core version specified anyway and none of
the glue-drivers refer to the property directly. Moreover the original
Allwinner sunXi bindings file didn't have the TSO-related property
declared. So we can freely do that.

Then in order to improve the DT-bindings maintainability we suggest to
split up the generic DT-properties and generic DT-nodes schema leaving the
properties definition in the "snps,dwmac.yaml" file and moving the generic
DW *MAC DT-nodes bindings validation in the dedicated DT-schema
"snps,dwmac-generic.yaml".

We've found out that the DW MAC bindings don't provide a correct description
of the System/CSR clocks and a comprehensive enough description of the
clock-related "snps,clk-csr" property. So in order to have more
descriptive bindings we suggest to add a bit more details about the
App/CSR clocks and CSR-MDC divider property.

Then seeing the any DW MAC IP-core revision can be equipped with an
external Tx/Rx clock sources we suggest to add the "tx"/"rx" clocks
declaration into the generic DW MAC DT-schema.

Afterwards a set of the AXI-bus config property cleanups are introduced.
First we suggest to drop the "snps,axi-config" property description since
it duplicates the stmmac-axi-config sub-node DT-bindings. Second the
unevaluatedProperties property is replaced with additionalProperties as
more suitable for the "stmmac-axi-config" schema. Third the proper
constraints are added to the properties of the "stmmac-axi-config"
sub-node.

Then three patches concerning the MTL Tx/Rx queue configs go, which add
the sub-nodes properties constraints and fix the MTL Tx queue properties
description.

The next patch converts the DW MAC DT-bindings to using the "flag"
definition instead of the native boolean type for relevant properties.
It's done for the sake of the DT-schema unification.

The series is closed with the two patches concerning the MTL queue config
properties dependencies. First one provides a simpler construction for the
MTL queue properties inter-dependencies. The second one adds the
dependencies definition for the MTL Tx queue CBS-algo properties.
