the dwmac PHY configuration registers (2x32bit) on the GXBB SoC are
part of the "periphs" region/module. This is already defined as
"simple-bus" in meson-gxbb.dtsi, see [0]
On Meson8b this is slightly different: there is no specific "periphs"
region - there the dwmac PHY configuration registers are directly
located in the cbus region at a slightly different offset than on the
GXBB SoCs.

In the future we might need a third memory region because the latest
reference kernel contains some more PHY configuration registers on
newer SoCs (GXL = S905X).

Please let me know if you're OK with the dts definition in it's
current state - or let me know how you would like to change it.

PS: I will re-send the patches in a v3 in a few minutes because that
fixes a bug during module unload.


Regards,
Martin
