Hi Krzysztof,

Sorry, I'm still a little confused. Do you mean to modify as follows?

> + - enum:
> + - fsl,imx8ulp-fec
> + - const: fsl,imx6ul-fec
> + - const: fsl,imx6q-fec

And as far as I know, the imx8ulp's fec is reused from imx6ul, they both have the same features. However, the fec of imx8ulp(and imx6ul) is a little different from imx6q, therefore, the functions supported by the driver are also somewhat different.

Wrong subject prefix (dt-bindings).

Wrong subject contents - do not use some generic sentences like "update X", just write what you are doing or what you want to achieve. For example:
dt-bindings: net: fsl,fec: add i.MX8 ULP FEC

This is wrong. fsl,imx6ul-fec has to be followed by fsl,imx6q-fec. I think someone made similar mistakes earlier so this is a mess.
