Just FYI, there is no device tree platform on which the upstream EMAC driver works. All of the DT code in the driver is theoretical. It worked once on a prototype platform, when I originally wrote the code, but since then DT support is mostly a guess. The focus of any patches for the EMAC should be ACPI, not DT. If anything, ACPI support should come first. No one should be writing or reviewing DT code before ACPI code. The upstream EMAC driver is only known to work on the QDF2400, which is an ACPI-only chip. I feel like I've been repeating this too often.
