Update binding for mt7988 which has 3 gmac and a sram for dma
operations.
I asked why you are updating. You claim you update because it has 3
GMAC... but that's irrelevant, because it is easy to answer with: it did
not have 3 GMAC before?

So same question: Provide real reason why you are making updates. That's
why you have commit msg.
MT7988 had always 3 gmac,but no dts with ethernet
node till now.
As i try to upstream the dts,i fell over this.
What does it mean? Are you adding new device or not? Nothing explains
that something was missing.
Imho changing the regex for the mac subnodes was
simply forgotten to be updated on initial mt7988
support patch.
Fix
your
wrapping because
it is
difficult
to follow
such
style.
I try to rephrase it like this:

Binding was not aware for 3 MAC subnodes because
previous mediatek SoC had only 2. Change this to allow
3 GMAC in mt7988 devicetree.
So a fix for existing? Than add Fixes tag, describe the issue and fix
ONLY that issue.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
