Hi Andrew,

Thank you for taking the time to review the patch.

The eic7700.dtsi and eic7700-hifive-premier-p550.dts are already in
v6.19-rc6. As you said, it only includes CPUs, memory and UARTs right
now. It has been verified to be able to login prompt on a serial port
using an initramfs.
Besides, the reset driver for eic7700 has already been merged in v6.19-rc6.

Because the device drivers such as Ethernet rely on the clock driver,
our plan is that once the clock driver is applied, we will add other
device nodes such as Ethernet and eMMC in the next upstream patch
of the DTS. Is this reasonable?
