My bot found errors running 'make dt_binding_check' on your patch:

yamllint warnings/errors:

dtschema/dtc warnings/errors:
/builds/robherring/linux-dt-review/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/allwinner,sun8i-a83t-emac.yaml: properties:syscon:items:0: {'minItems': 1, 'maxItems': 2, 'items': [{'description': 'Phandle to the device containing the EMAC or GMAC clock register'}, {'description': 'Register index offset (0 for EMAC0, 1 for EMAC1)'}]} should not be valid under {'required': ['maxItems']}
	hint: "maxItems" is not needed with an "items" list
	from schema $id: http://devicetree.org/meta-schemas/items.yaml

doc reference errors (make refcheckdocs):

See https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/devicetree/patch/20260916044119.475666-4-alastair@xxxxxxxxxxx

The base for the series is generally the latest rc1. A different dependency
should be noted in *this* patch.

If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above
error(s), then make sure 'yamllint' is installed and dt-schema is up to
date:

pip3 install dtschema --upgrade

Please check and re-submit after running the above command yourself. Note
that DT_SCHEMA_FILES can be set to your schema file to speed up checking
your schema. However, it must be unset to test all examples with your schema.
