Initially you passed:  pinctrl-assert-gpios = <&max7322 0
GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH> inside the fec1 node.

Then I explained that 'pinctrl-assert-gpios' is not a valid property
in mainline. It only exists in NXP vendor tree.

Then you explained:

"Sorry, I made a mistake here, the MAX7320 IO0 is for adjusting FEC1's voltage"

Right, but if FEC needs max7322 IO0 at level 1 then better describe it in dts.
