Why check stmmac_ahb_rst, but not do anything with it ?

I wonder if this is the first glue to face this...

If you need further setup to be done after reset has been deasserted, I suggest
adding a dedicated callback in plat_stmmacenet_data, instead of doing this behind
the generic code's back.

maybe something like "post_reset_init()", something like that ?

the ->mac_setup already runs after reset, but isn't really for this type of usecase.

For readability of the patch, maybe you should split this patch to first do the
a523 rework, then add a733 support.

Thanks !
