Hi guys,

I will fix typo issues (s/vesrion/version and ethernet @).

Concerning compatible string. For sure "snps,dwmac-3.50a" string is
not used inside glue driver.
I perfere to keep it for information but if you really want that I
remove it I will not block ;)

We can remove host clock (stmmac eth) entry here and refer to
stmmac.txt binding for common entry

This doesn't sound like the clock input signal name...

How can other DWMAC blocks not have these clocks? The glue can't really
add these clocks. It could combine them into one or a new version of
DWMAC could have a different number of clock inputs. So if there is
variation here, then some of the bindings are probably wrong. I guess
the only change I'm suggesting is possibly moving these into common
binding doc.
The LPC18xx implementation probably have these clocks as well but the
LPC1850 user manual only documents the main clock. Someone with access
to the IP block doc from Synopsys should be able to check which clocks
the MAC really needs.

Rockchip bindings have two clocks named "mac_clk_rx" and "mac_clk_tx".
These are probably the same as stm32 needs so maybe use these names
and move them into the main doc and update the rockchip binding.
I think we can use same name. But I have a doubt on moving it in a
common bindings (maybe I don't well understood). When you say "common
binding file" is it "stmmac.txt" binding ? If yes does it mean that we
have to control it inside stmmac driver (no more in glue) ? In this
case those clocks will become "required" for stm32 and rockship but
not for others chip. It could create confusion?
