Indeed, it might be useful to introduce a specific SoC compatible since
in a near future, there might be some specific support for that gmac.
Here is an overview of the gmac connection on the SoC:

As you can see, the GMAC1 is directly connected to MIIC converter and
thus will need a "pcs-handle" property to point on the MII converter
port whereas the GMAC2 is directly connected to the switch in GMII.

Is "renesas,r9a06g032-gmac2", "renesas,rzn1-switch-gmac2" looks ok for
you for this one ?

Thanks,

Clément

Ok,I'll add that to the DT and modify the DWMAC bindings.
