For the +generic PHY 'phys' property, see +Documentation/devicetree/bindings/phy/phy-bindings.txt. + +- local-mac-address: array of 6 bytes, specifies the MAC address that was + assigned to the network device; +- mac-address: array of 6 bytes, specifies the MAC address that was last used by + the boot program; should be used in cases where the MAC address assigned to + the device by the boot program is different from the "local-mac-address" + property; +- nvmem-cells: phandle, reference to an nvmem node for the MAC address; +- nvmem-cell-names: string, should be "mac-address" if nvmem is to be used; +- max-speed: number, specifies maximum speed in Mbit/s supported by the device; +- max-frame-size: number, maximum transfer unit (IEEE defined MTU), rather than + the maximum frame size (there's contradiction in the Devicetree + Specification). +- phy-mode: string, operation mode of the PHY interface. This is now a de-facto + standard property; supported values are: + * "internal" + * "mii" + * "gmii" + * "sgmii" + * "qsgmii" + * "tbi" + * "rev-mii" + * "rmii" + * "rgmii" (RX and TX delays are added by the MAC when required) + * "rgmii-id" (RGMII with internal RX and TX delays provided by the PHY, the + MAC should not add the RX or TX delays in this case) + * "rgmii-rxid" (RGMII with internal RX delay provided by the PHY, the MAC + should not add an RX delay in this case) + * "rgmii-txid" (RGMII with internal TX delay provided by the PHY, the MAC + should not add an TX delay in this case) + * "rtbi" + * "smii" + * "xgmii" + * "trgmii" + * "2000base-x", + * "2500base-x", + * "rxaui" + * "xaui" + * "10gbase-kr" (10GBASE-KR, XFI, SFI) +- phy-connection-type: the same as "phy-mode" property but described in the + Devicetree Specification; +- phy-handle: phandle, specifies a reference to a node representing a PHY + device; this property is described in the Devicetree Specification and so + preferred; +- phy: the same as "phy-handle" property, not recommended for new bindings. +- phy-device: the same as "phy-handle" property, not recommended for new + bindings. +- rx-fifo-depth: the size of the controller's receive fifo in bytes. This + is used for components that can have configurable receive fifo sizes, + and is useful for determining certain configuration settings such as + flow control thresholds. +- tx-fifo-depth: the size of the controller's transmit fifo in bytes. This + is used for components that can have configurable fifo sizes. +- managed: string, specifies the PHY management type. Supported values are: + "auto", "in-band-status". "auto" is the default, it usess MDIO for + management if fixed-link is not specified. + +Child nodes of the Ethernet controller are typically the individual PHY devices +connected via the MDIO bus (sometimes the MDIO bus controller is separate). +They are described in the phy.txt file in this same directory. +For non-MDIO PHY management see fixed-link.txt. |
