The DMAC and EMAC blocks of Gigabit Ethernet IP is almost similar to

Ethernet AVB.

The Gigabit Etherner IP consists of Ethernet controller (E-MAC),

Internal TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) and Dedicated Direct memory access
controller (DMAC).

With few changes in driver, we can support Gigabit ethernet driver as

well.

   It's not a good idea to have the patch to the defferent subsystems
lumped all together in a single series...

Agreed.

Are these changes inseparable? If so, you need to be up front on this, and
you need an agreement with the subsystem maintainers how the patches are
going to be merged? Through which tree. And you need Acked-by from the
other tree maintainers.

Ideally you submit multiple patchsets. This assumes all sets will compile
independently.

Agreed. Will split this patch series in 3 patchsets

1) single binding patch

2) Clock patchset

3) ravb driver patchset.

4) dts part.

Part 2 should pass through renesas-clk.
Part 4 should pass through renesas-devel.
