Hi Jacopo,

  as discussed with you Sergei and Geert, in order to enable EtherAVB for
R8A77965 we first wanted to make the phy-mode "rgmii-txid" a board specific
property for all other SoCs.
Thanks for your series!
This series adds  the phy-mode property to salvator-common.dtsi and reset the
one for R8A77965/R8A7796/R8A77995 to "rgmii".
I forgot that r8a7795.dtsi and r8a7796.dtsi are used for the ULCB boards, too.
So to avoid regressions, you need to make a similar change to ulcb.dtsi like you
made for salvator-common.dtsi.

In addition, r8a77995.dtsi is only used for the Draak board.
So you have to update r8a7795-draak.dtsi first, too.
Then, in order to enable EtherAVB for R-Car M3-N, iommu nodes had to be added
as they are referenced by the "avb" device node (CC the iommu list for the
series for that reason).
I don't think we need the iommu properties and nodes at this early stage.
Ethernet works fine without them. Simon, do you agree?

P.S. scripts/dtc/dtx_diff is a great tool to compare DTBs before and after your
      changes. It would have revealed the changes for ULCB and Draak.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
