see further regarding using dwmac in the names here.

Additionally would be nice to have a brief controller "description:"
having the next info: the SoCs the controllers can be found on, the DW
(G)MAC IP-core version the ethernet controller is based on and some
data about the synthesize parameters: SMA (MDIO-bus), Tx/Rx COE, DMA
FIFOs size, perfect and hash MAC-filters size, L3L4 frame filters
availability, VLAN hash filter, SA/VLAN-tag insertion, ARP offload
engine, PHY interfaces (MII, RMII, RGMII, etc), EEE support, IEEE
1588(-2008) Timestamping support, PMT and Wake-up frame support, MAC
Management counters (MMC). In addition to that for DW QoS
ETH/XGMAC/XLGMAC the next info would be useful: number of MTL Queues
and DMA channels, MTL queues capabilities (QoS-related), TSO
availability, SPO availability.

Note DMA FIFO sizes can be also constrained in the properties
"rx-fifo-depth" and "tx-fifo-depth"; perfect and hash MAC-filter sizes -
in "snps,perfect-filter-entries" and "snps,multicast-filter-bins".

Referring to the DW IP-core in the compatible string isn't very
much useful especially seeing you have a generic fallback compatible.
Name like "thead,th1520-gmac" looks more informative indicating its
speed capability.

ditto.
