[PATCH v7 2/2] ethernet: eswin: Add eic7700 ethernet driver

[李志]

Hi Russell King,

Thanks for your suggestions. we’ve done some trials and investigations,
but we’d like to clarify a few points:

Moving eic7700_clks_config() into plat_dat->init and plat_dat->exit does
allow us to drop eic7700_dwmac_remove() and use devm_stmmac_pltfm_probe()
to simplify the code.

However, we don’t want clks_config() to be invoked again during
stmmac_pltfm_resume() and stmmac_pltfm_suspend(). Following your
suggestion, this means we would need to provide empty plat_dat->suspend()
and plat_dat->resume() methods.

Could you confirm whether you’re planning to add the suspend and resume
hooks into the plat_stmmacenet_data structure?
Also, regarding the cleanups you mentioned for other stmmac glue drivers,
do you have some links or reference commits so we can review the approach
you took?

Thanks!

Best regards,
Li Zhi
