[PATCH] dt-bindings: net: ti,davinci-emac: Convert to DT schema

From: Bhargav Joshi

Date: Sun Aug 16 2026 - 18:57:33 EST


Convert Texas Instruments DaVinci EMAC binding from text to DT schema.

Changes from the original binding:
- Add clocks, clock-names, syscon, power-domains, and ti,hwmods
properties that are used in existing DTS files but were undocumented.
- Disallow syscon and clock-names for ti,davinci-dm6467-emac since they
are not applicable to that SoC.
- Allow 1-2 reg entries (DM816 uses two).
- Make clocks a required property as driver probe fails without it.
- Mark ti,hwmods as deprecated.
