This series incorporates feedback from the RFC and adds the dt-bindings
and driver changes required to enable Gigabit Ethernet support on the
Qualcomm Shikra SoC. DTS changes will be sent out separately.

The series has grown from the RFC and can be broadly divided into three
areas: PHY power supply management, proper support for RGMII ID mode in
the Qualcomm ETHQOS driver, and Shikra specific clock dependencies
required for NOC access.

1. Shikra EVK boards use a GPIO-gated regulator for the DP83867 PHY
power supply. Patches 1 and 2 add supply management to the DP83867
driver so the PHY driver holds the regulator vote at probe. These
changes are largely inspired by similar work done for the QCA8081 PHY:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260605010022.968612-3-elder@riscstar.com/

2. The generic RGMII fixes from the RFC remain. As suggested, an
additional patch now emits a warning (patch 6) when the legacy "rgmii"
or "rgmii-txid" modes are detected. A new change (patch 7) now
initialises the RGMII link clock at SPEED_10 on probe instead of
SPEED_1000, dropping the unnecessary 250 MHz source before link up.

3. NOC clock voting (patch 8) now uses dev_pm_opp_set_rate() so the
required VDD_CX performance state can be propagated through the clock
controller. The Shikra binding (patch 3) is updated accordingly: an
if/else block constrains Shikra to exactly six clocks and requires
operating-points-v2.

Testing:
The following boards have been tested with this new (proper) handling
for RGMII ID:
  - Shikra CQ/IQ variants (with the TI DP83867 PHY)
  - QCS615 Ride (with the Micrel KSZ9031 PHY)
  - Talos EVK (again with the Micrel KSZ9031 PHY)
  - Talos Lyra EVK (TI DP83867 PHY, this board also has a GPIO-gated
    regulator for the PHY power supply)

Changes since RFC:
  - Two new patches add supply management for the DP83867, replacing
    the gpio-hog approach for PHY power -- Konrad, Andrew.
  - Use dev_pm_opp_set_rate() for the NOC AXI clock and require
    operating-points-v2 for Shikra -- Konrad.
  - Warn on legacy "rgmii"/"rgmii-txid" to encourage DTB migration --
    Andrew, Maxime.
  - Updated binding document for qcom,ethqos and snps,dwmac.
  - Drop the duplicate "axi" clock from Shikra's DT; use "axi-noc" and
    "pcie-tile-axi-noc" as the only additional clock-names.
  - Initialise RGMII link clock at SPEED_10 rather than SPEED_1000 on
    probe.
