net: stmmac: qcom-ethqos: add support for sa8255p

This commit adds support for the SA8255P SoC which uses power domains
managed via SCMI firmware, rather than the traditional clock/phy-based
power management used by other variants.

Should this be qcom_ethqos_domain_off() instead of qcom_ethqos_domain_on()?

This function is registered as a cleanup action via devm_add_action_or_reset()
to undo the qcom_ethqos_domain_on(ETHQOS_PD_SERDES) call during probe. Using
domain_on here would increment the PM runtime usage counter again rather than
decrementing it. The serdes power domain would never be properly turned off
on driver removal.

Compare with qcom_ethqos_pd_serdes_powerdown() which correctly uses
qcom_ethqos_domain_off().

Is qcom_ethqos_pd_init() being called twice?

It is assigned to plat_dat->init above, and then called directly here. Later,
devm_stmmac_pltfr_probe() -> stmmac_pltfr_probe() -> stmmac_dvr_probe() will
call plat_dat->init() again (see stmmac_main.c stmmac_dvr_probe function).

Each call to qcom_ethqos_pd_init() increments the PM runtime usage counter
for ETHQOS_PD_CORE and ETHQOS_PD_MDIO via pm_runtime_resume_and_get(). With
two calls, the refcount would be 2 for each domain, but qcom_ethqos_pd_exit()
only decrements once per domain. This would leave the power domains with a
dangling reference.

Perhaps the direct call to qcom_ethqos_pd_init() here should be removed, and
let stmmac_dvr_probe() invoke it through the plat_dat->init callback?
