Hi,

I'm trying to understand MediaTek's Ethernet controller resets.

I noticed there is sth fishy when checking dts files. See following
errors:

arch/mips/boot/dts/ralink/mt7621-tplink-hc220-g5-v1.dtb: ethernet at 1e100000: resets: [[2, 6], [2, 23]] is too short
         From schema: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/mediatek,net.yaml
arch/mips/boot/dts/ralink/mt7621-tplink-hc220-g5-v1.dtb: ethernet at 1e100000: reset-names:1: 'gmac' was expected
         From schema: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/mediatek,net.yaml
arch/mips/boot/dts/ralink/mt7621-tplink-hc220-g5-v1.dtb: ethernet at 1e100000: reset-names: ['fe', 'eth'] is too short
         From schema: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/mediatek,net.yaml
arch/mips/boot/dts/ralink/mt7621-tplink-hc220-g5-v1.dtb: ethernet at 1e100000: Unevaluated properties are not allowed ('reset-names', 'resets' were unexpected)
         From schema: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/mediatek,net.yaml


1. Binding mediatek,net.yaml
It says that when present, there must be 3 resets: fe, gmac, ppe

2. mt7621.dtsi
It specifies 2 resets: fe, eth

3. mt7622.dtsi
It doesn't specify any resets

4. mt7629.dtsi
It doesn't specify any resets

5. drivers/net/ethernet/mediatek/
I don't see any reset_control_* code at all


Can someone help me what's the actual case with resets? Are they needed?
Are they used?
