Please split the binding into a separate patch from the code (it makes
it far easier for us DT guys to find that portions relevant to use).

Is there any public documentation?

How many, in which order, what are each of them for?

What are valid values?

Units/types?

Please describe what these actually do.

Odd formatting here.

s/_/-/ in property names please.

When and why should this property be set in a dt?

Likewise, for all points.

You can use sizeof(*p) here.

I see that of_get_mac_address returns a *void rather than *char, but
it's always a string of hex digits. Would it make sense to change the
of_get_mac_address prototype to return a char* ?

This wasn't mentioned in the binding.

Neither was this.

Only one compatible string is documented. When would this _not_ be the
case?

This is a new dt-driven driver. Why would you need additional platform
data? Why can this information not come from dt?

So the first IRQ is assumed to be a common interrupt...

then there's a TX IRQ for each queue, in order...

> +                               irq_of_parse_and_map(dev->of_node, loop);

then an RX IRQ for each queue, in order.

That should be in the binding document.

Cheers,
Mark.
