It seems most platforms using DWMAC follow this design set by the original stmmac bindings. I'm arguing that the requirement of setting up the glue makes them incompatible. What happens when the bootloader didn't setup the glue? And one forgets to build the STM32 driver, only the generic one? The generic driver even matches to some, but not all, version strings. Maybe it would've been better if the versioned strings were only used to indicate functionality, and not used to bind the drivers. But the bindings were set some time ago.
