Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] dt-bindings: ethernet: eswin: add clock sampling control

From: Zhi Li <lizhi2@...incomputing.com>

The second Ethernet controller (eth1) on the EIC7700 SoC may experience
RX data sampling issues at high speed due to EIC7700-specific receive
clock to data skew at the MAC input.

On the EIC7700 SoC, the second Ethernet controller (eth1) requires
inversion of the internal RGMII receive clock in order to meet RX data
sampling timing at high speed.

Describe this SoC-specific difference by introducing a distinct compatible
string for MAC instances that require internal clock inversion, allowing the
driver to select the appropriate configuration without relying on per-board
vendor-specific properties.

The rx-internal-delay-ps and tx-internal-delay-ps properties now use
minimum and maximum constraints to reflect the actual hardware delay
range (0-2400 ps) applied in 20 ps steps. This relaxes the binding
validation compared to the previous enum-based definition and avoids
regressions for existing DTBs while keeping the same hardware limits.

In addition, the binding now includes additional background information
about the HSP CSR registers accessed by the MAC. The TXD and RXD delay
control registers are included so the driver can explicitly clear any
residual configuration left by the bootloader. Background reference for
the High-Speed Subsystem and HSP CSR block is available in Chapter 10
("High-Speed Interface") of the EIC7700X SoC Technical Reference Manual,
Part 4 (EIC7700X_SoC_Technical_Reference_Manual_Part4.pdf):
https://github.com/eswincomputing/EIC7700X-SoC-Technical-Reference-Manual/releases

There are currently no in-tree users of the EIC7700 Ethernet driver, so
these changes are safe.
