Sorry for stepping up so late, but I dont' think this is the right way
to do it.

DT is to describe how the hardware is laid out in a system agnostic
way, hence, it should not be impacted by the implementation details.

The fact that you use a glue to the dwmac driver *is* an
implementation detail.

I think you'd rather have something like:

dwmac0: ethernet@fe810000 {
        compatible              = "st,stih415-dwmac";
        reg                     = <0xfe810000 0x8000 0x148 0x4>;
        resets                  = <&softreset STIH415_ETH0_SOFTRESET>;
        st,syscon               = <&syscfg_rear>;
        st,tx-retime-src        = "clk_125";
        interrupts              = <0 147 0>;
        interrupt-names         = "macirq";
        ...
};

Then, the driver can have its init functions associated to the
compatible you're using, through the .data field of the of_device_id
structure, and you just call it in the generic driver at probe's time.


I don't really know what this syscon thing is either, but I think the
reg <0x148 0x4> is related to that.

Why don't you pass it directly in the st,syscon property, to have
something like <&syscfg_rear 0x148>?
