Hi,

This series adds support for the LAN966x chip when used as a PCI
device.

For reference, the LAN996x chip is a System-on-chip that integrates an
Ethernet switch and a number of other traditional hardware blocks such
as a GPIO controller, I2C controllers, SPI controllers, etc. The
LAN996x can be used in two different modes:

- With Linux running on its Linux built-in ARM cores.
  This mode is already supported by the upstream Linux kernel, with the
  LAN996x described as a standard ARM Device Tree in
  arch/arm/boot/dts/microchip/lan966x.dtsi. Thanks to this support,
  all hardware blocks in the LAN996x already have drivers in the
  upstream Linux kernel.

- As a PCI device, thanks to its built-in PCI endpoint controller.
  In this case, the LAN996x ARM cores are not used, but all peripherals
  of the LAN996x can be accessed by the PCI host using memory-mapped
  I/O through the PCI BARs.

This series aims at supporting this second use-case. As all peripherals
of the LAN996x already have drivers in the Linux kernel, our goal is to
reuse them as-is to support this second use-case.

Therefore, this patch series introduces a PCI driver that binds on the
LAN996x PCI VID/PID, and when probed, instantiates all devices that are
accessible through the PCI BAR. As the list and characteristics of such
devices are non-discoverable, this PCI driver loads a Device Tree
overlay that allows to teach the kernel about which devices are
available, and allows to probe the relevant drivers in kernel, re-using
all existing drivers with no change.

This patch series for now adds a Device Tree overlay that describes an
initial subset of the devices available over PCI in the LAN996x, and
follow-up patch series will add support for more once this initial
support has landed.

In order to add this PCI driver, a number changes are needed:
 - Patches 1 and 2 introduce the LAN996x PCI driver itself, together
   with its DT overlay and the related MAINTAINER entry.

 - Patch 3 removes the syscon API usage from the reset driver used for
   the LAN966x.

 - Patches 4 to 7 allow the reset driver used for the LAN996x to be
   built as a module. Indeed, in the case where Linux runs on the ARM
   cores, it is common to have the reset driver built-in. However, when
   the LAN996x is used as a PCI device, it makes sense that all its
   drivers can be loaded as modules.

Compare to the previous iteration:
  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240930121601.172216-1-herve.codina@bootlin.com/
this v7 series mainly:
  - Remove the patch modifying the reset controller DT binding
  - Re-order patches
  - Remove the syscon API usage from the LAN966x reset controller (the
    only syscon user).

Best regards,
Hervé
