Sorry, I'm not sure I follow. JH7100 is (or will be) the user of it and,
as a matter of fact, something similar has been done recently while
adding support for JH7110.

In particular, commit [1] changed this binding before the JH7110
compatible was introduced in a subsequent patch. On a closer look that
commit made a statement which is not entirely correct:

"dwmac controller may require one (stmmaceth) or two (stmmaceth+ahb)
reset signals"

That's because stmmaceth is also optional in dwmac's driver, hence the
correct message would have been:

"[...] may require one (stmmaceth OR ahb) [...]"

Hence, I think it makes sense to keep this patch, after adding the above
details in the commit message.

[1] 843f603762a5 ("dt-bindings: net: snps,dwmac: Add 'ahb'
reset/reset-name")

Thanks,
Cristian
