Sorry for confusing, let me try to explain in detail,
For JH7110, there are two resets (stmmaceth & ahb)
For JH8100, there are only a resets (stmmaceth)
And both are using same driver code (dwmac-starfive.c), and 
in the driver code acknowledges { .compatible = "starfive,jh7110-dwmac"	} 

In v2 patch, I try to make amend the yaml file by adding "starfive,jh8100-dwmac"
and provide info regarding the differences in resets.

For loading the driver for JH8110, 
Will including "starfive,jh7110-dwmac" in device tree file,

please refer to below example of JH7110 & JH8100 device tree file:

Example of JH7110:
gmac0: ethernet at 16030000 {
			compatible = "starfive,jh7110-dwmac", "snps,dwmac-5.20";
			resets = <&aoncrg JH7110_AONRST_GMAC0_AXI>,
				 <&aoncrg JH7110_AONRST_GMAC0_AHB>;
			reset-names = "stmmaceth", "ahb";
		};

Example of JH8100:
gmac0: ethernet at 16030000 {
			compatible = "starfive,jh8100-dwmac", "starfive,jh7110-dwmac","snps,dwmac-5.20";
			resets = <&aoncrg JH8100RST_GMAC0>,
			reset-names = "stmmaceth";
		};

Please share with me if you have any suggestions, thank you.
