This patch adds support to configure the STMMAC ethernet driver via
device-tree instead of platform_data.

Currently, only the properties needed on SPEAr600 are provided. All
other properties should be added once needed on other platforms.

+Required properties:
+- compatible: Should be "stm,gmac"

This is too generic. This should be 1 string per version of h/w.

Viresh, Giuseppe, can you please suggest a proper string for the SPEAr600 
STMMAC core, including version?
 

'stm' should be 'st' according to vendor-prefixes.txt.

Okay.

+- reg: Address and length of the register set for the device
+- interrupt-parent: Should be the phandle for the interrupt controller
+  that services interrupts for this device
+- interrupts: Should contain the STMMAC interrupts
+- interrupt-names: Should contain the interrupt names "macirq"
+  "eth_wake_irq" if this interrupt is supported in the "interrupts"
+  property

You should be able to tell this from the compatible string and number of
interrupts.

Yes. Currently the driver uses platform_get_irq_byname() to register the 
irq's. That's why I added these properties. Is there something wrong with 
using it this way?

+- phy-mode: String, operation mode of the PHY interface.
+  Supported values are: "mii", "rmii", "gmii", "rgmii".
+- phy-addr: MDIO address of the PHY

This is normally probed or the mdio bus is a sub-node of the MAC node.
See arch/powerpc/boot/dts/mpc8377_mds.dts for an example.

Okay, I'll rework this.

+Optional properties:
+- stm,prog-burst-len: Specify the burst length
+- stm,has-gmac: Indicates that the controller supports 1000Mbps
+- stm,has-pmt: Indicates that the controller supports power management

I think these should all be encoded by the compatible string.

You mean that by defining a specific compatible string (e.g.
"st,gmac-spear600"), these settings are implicitly set? And should therefore 
be omitted from the dts?

Thanks,
Stefan
