Hi Bartosz,

Thanks for your patch!

So why can't it be reuse the DT bindings, and be compatible with
qcom,sa8775p-dwmac-sgmii-phy?

Ah, this uses power-domains, while the existing bindings for
qcom,sa8775p-dwmac-sgmii-phy use a clock.
I guess the clock is the correct hardware description?

Adding to my list of examples for backing a hardware-to-SCMI remapping
driver...
