The H616 secondary EMAC supports RMII at 10/100 Mbps and uses a separate
system-control clock register at offset 0x34. Add its binding and a
sun8i stmmac variant using that register. A distinct compatible without
an older fallback prevents the driver from using EMAC0's clock register.

EMAC1 connects internally to the co-packaged AC200 or AC300 EPHY and has
no external PHY pins. Leave PHY initialization to the PHY driver instead
of using the H3 internal-PHY controls. The RMII-only variant does not
expose the RGMII clock-delay properties.

First move the MAC software reset from probe to the DMA reset callback,
after PHY initialization. This lets the MAC and its MDIO bus remain
registered when the PHY driver or one of its suppliers is not ready yet.
Keep the separate H3 MDIO-mux reset sequence unchanged.

The AC200/AC300 EPHY driver and package bindings are already in
net-next. This series separates the H616 EMAC1 MAC driver and binding
support from the earlier combined series. PWM, MFD and device-tree
enablement are being handled separately.

Changes in v3:
- Add a prerequisite fix moving the MAC software reset to the DMA reset
  callback, after PHY initialization, so delayed module loading and
  deferred PHY probes do not tear down the MAC and its MDIO bus.
- Preserve the H3 MDIO-mux reset and propagate hardware-reset failures
  through the normal stmmac hardware-setup error path.
- Add Alastair D'Silva to Cc and rebase onto current net-next.
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260915-submit-h616-emac1-v1-v2-0-322b32e40eb9@gmail.com

Changes in v2:
- Drop EMAC1 TX/RX clock-delay property support and keep the existing
  RGMII-only delay descriptions unchanged, as requested by Maxime Ripard.
- Clarify that EMAC1 connects internally to a co-packaged PHY, not an
  external PHY or the H3-style internal-PHY controls.
- Rebase onto current net-next.

The MAC software reset needs a running receive clock from the PHY.
Resetting the MAC at the end of probe therefore fails when the PHY driver
has not been loaded or its probe has deferred on a missing supplier. The
failure removes the MAC and its MDIO bus, so loading the missing driver
later cannot recover the interface without reprobing the MAC.

Perform the software reset in the DMA reset callback instead. The stmmac
core calls it during hardware setup after attaching and initializing the
PHY, and resumes a suspended PHY before reopening or resuming the MAC.
Keep the existing register clearing after a successful reset and return
reset errors through the normal hardware-setup error path.

Remove the unconditional reset from probe. Keep the separate H3 MDIO-mux
reset after switching the mux and powering the selected PHY, since it is
needed to latch the selected interface before MDIO accesses.

The H616 secondary EMAC uses a separate system-control clock register
and supports only RMII at 10/100 Mbps. Add its distinct compatible
without an older fallback, since using the primary EMAC clock register
would not work.

Constrain the PHY interface mode to RMII, matching the hardware.

The H616 secondary EMAC uses a separate system-control clock register
and supports only RMII at 10/100 Mbps. It connects internally to the
co-packaged AC200 or AC300 EPHY and has no external PHY pins.

Add an EMAC1 variant using the dedicated register and enable only RMII.
Leave PHY initialization to the PHY driver instead of using the H3
internal-PHY controls. No RX or TX clock delays are configured for this
RMII-only variant.

I did notice that the speed and activity LEDs on the magjack remained
dark.

LED Output Pad Enables (Register 0x05 - SYS_IO)
-----------------------------------------------

According to the AC300 datasheet (Section 4.2.5), bits [3:1] default to
0 (disabled):
   - Bit 1: E_LNK_LED_IO_EN
   - Bit 2: E_SPD_LED_IO_EN
   - Bit 3: E_DPX_LED_IO_EN

In drivers/net/phy/xpowers/ac300.c, AC300_SYS_IO_VALUE does not set   
any of these bits. Consequently, the LED outputs remain disabled/tri-
stated, and neither the link nor speed LEDs illuminate on the board.

LED Polarity (Register 0x06 - EPHY_CONFIG)
------------------------------------------

Once the I/O pads are enabled, Register 0x06 bit 1 (LED_POL) controls
the drive logic:
   - Bit 1 = 0: Active-High (Default)
   - Bit 1 = 1: Active-Low

Because common RJ45 magjacks (such as the HY911105AE on Fly-C5, Orange
Pi Zero 2W/3, etc.) have LED anodes connected to 3.3V, the PHY must
sink current (Active-Low) to drive them. Without setting LED_POL = 1,
the LED logic is inverted.

Could we update AC300_SYS_IO_VALUE to enable the LED IO pads, and
configure LED_POL for active-low operation (or wire it up to the phylib
LED framework)?

Thanks a lot for testing, this is great :)

Can you add you Tested-by tag ?
