I would disagree here :-)

Specific to the emac, there also exists a second register in the grf (0xa8 for 
the rk3188) that contains a field 

----
emac_newrcv_en - the selection of RMII receive selection
0: don't support the data package without header
1: support the data package without header
----

which we don't handle currently but somebody might want to in the future.
[There also is no documentation of this at all]


The dt maintainers also generally suggest to define compatibles for the 
individual socs anyway, even if only one is matched, so I don't see the 
necessity to encode this 2 times
	compatible = "rockchip,rk3188-emac", "rockchip,rk3066-emac";
	rockchip,grf = <&grf 0xa4>;

instead of the more flexible
	compatible = "rockchip,rk3188-emac";
	rockchip,grf = <&grf>;

which other rockchip drivers already use in this form.
