If this is a learning exercise in how to write QEMU device models
rather than a specific requirement for this exact ethernet controller,
you may find it better to look at adding some missing device to
one of our existing board models. This will:
 (a) be a much simpler and smaller piece of work, because you only
     need to implement a single device, not an entire large and
     complex SoC
 (b) be useful to other people who are already using
     that QEMU board model

Or you could model a PCI ethernet card, which will then be
usable with any QEMU board which has a PCI controller
(this is less generally useful to the community though since
we already have several good PCI ethernet card models).
