As per feedback received in v1, I've changed the DT bindings for the
internal ports from "gmii" to "internal". So I would like the entire
series to be merged through a single tree, be it net-next or devicetree.

Will applying the patches via different trees as normal cause any
issue like build breakage or regression on either tree?  Otherwise, I do
not see the series needs to go in through a single tree.

No, the point is that I've made some changes in the device tree
bindings validation in the driver, which make the driver without those
changes incompatible with the bindings themselves that I'm
introducing. So I would like the driver to be operational on the
actual commit that introduces the bindings, at least in your tree. I
don't expect merge conflicts to occur in that area of the code.

The dt-bindings patch is supposed to go through subsystem tree together
with driver changes by nature.  That said, patch #1 and #2 are for
David, and I will pick up the rest (DTS ones).
