The driver use the value of property 'snps,rx-queues-to-use' to loop
same numbers child nodes as queues, such as:

    gmac {
        rx-queues-config {
            snps,rx-queues-to-use = <1>;
            queue0 {
                // nothing need here.
	    };
	};
    };

Since a patch for dtc from rockchip will delete all node without any
properties or child node, the queue0 node will be deleted, that caused
the driver fail to probe:

    rk_gmac-dwmac: probe of ffa80000.ethernet failed with error -22

This patch try to support driver work well for DTs without setting for
the child queue nodes and then have none child queue nodes.

Is this the in tree dtc? Do you have a commit hash for it? That should
probably be used as a Fixes: tag. Or that change to dtc needs
reverting because it breaks stuff.

I think you mean tx, not rx, given the code.

Also what about the init to defaults I asked about?

The patch is a hack patch for some products and have not in tree dtc, I said that to
explain a possible case how things happed, it's only a case of no child queue node.

In my mind, it's hard to understand the one property (snps,rx-queues-to-use) does
have a limit for another nodes or properties, if it must work well, the dtc is better to
do a abort, like #size-cells ?

My personally question from a insigth of DTs but gmac, if it's not a good question,
I can simply add a status = "okay" for the empty node and drop this patch.

Adding device tree list.

This is mostly a device tree issue, so the device tree Maintainers
should be part of the discussion.

So this has nothing to do with the kernel dtc, or the upstream
dtc. This is only a 'vendor crap' dtc which has been hacked?

Why should mainline care? Is there anything in the DT standard which
says the compiler can optimise out empty properties?

Yes, it't nothing about what kind of dtc, does about what rule for properties, now the one property
request another child node must exist and number of child node must equal to the value of the property,
the 
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
does this but they are in special key words, the gmac has no likely key word.
