I will fix it.

Firstly, this patch addresses a correction to my earlier update on the 
dts schema, which can be found here: 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241017-schema-v2-1-2320f68dc126@xxxxxxxxxxx/.
As detailed in the description, the EMAC version present in qcs615 
diverges from that in sm8150, leading me to conclude that the schema 
should not fallback to sm8150, despite successful driver probing. 
Lastly, there are currently no users for qcs615 yet.
