You can take the driver and the bindings. We will take the DT patches
through the amlogic tree, and submit via arm-soc.

No, not a prerequisite.  Go ahead and merge the driver.

It just means that hardware reset doesn't actually happen when using
drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/* because it only uses
assert/reassert currently.
