Yes it should be okay.

In the Linux kernel we use "snps,dwmac", see [1].
But maybe we need to switch to "snps,dwmac-3.70a" even as what we really have 
is 3.73a.

While in U-Boot we don't have either one, the most generic is "st,stm32-dwmac", 
see [2].
So maybe we want to add at least "snps,dwmac".

@Jose Abreu could you please confirm if "snps,dwmac-3.70a" is OK for GMAC IP 
v3.73a?

I think we should only be using what Linux does, so I'm afraid I have
to defer to what exists in the DTs there.
