Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/4] Add Ethernet MAC support for SpacemiT K1

SpacemiT K1 has two gigabit Ethernet MACs with RGMII and RMII support.
Add a driver for them, as well as the supporting devicetree and bindings
updates.

Tested on BananaPi BPI-F3 (but see "Known issues").

I would like to note that even though some bit field names superficially
resemble that of DesignWare MAC, but all other differences point to it
in fact being a custom design.

Based on SpacemiT drivers [1]. This series depends on reset controller
support for K1 [2]. These patches can also be pulled from:

https://github.com/dramforever/linux/tree/k1/ethernet/v1

Known issues:

- RX fails to achieve close-enough-to gigabit performance for unknown
  reasons. The 6.6-based Linux in the vendor distribution "Bianbu" can
  do over 900 Mbps, so this should be a software problem, but I haven't
  figured out why yet. A cursory look at "top" tells me that ksoftirqd
  takes up almost one entire core, which suggests that RX could be
  compute-bound.

  Tested with Banana Pi BPI-F3:

    # On the BPI-F3
    taskset -c 2 iperf3 -s

    # On the other side
    iperf3 --bitrate 0 --time 10 {--reverse,} {--udp,} -c [ip]

  Results (TX/RX from BPI-F3 perspective):

    TCP TX: 941 Mbits/sec
    UDP TX: 948 Mbits/sec
    TCP RX: 617 Mbits/sec
    UDP RX: 647 Mbits/sec

- No DT for Milk-V Jupiter. I do not have this hardware to test yet.
  If I get access to it later I will add its DT changes.
