How is this > accessed? This is the part for Shared MDIO controller which is shared among other subsystem as well hence defined here. This works as glue layer between This controller and legacy MDIO framework and register the MDIO bus to legacy framework. When any read/write request is issue from Legacy MDIO controller framework it gets propagated to Shared controller platform driver via this driver and finally platform driver issue MDIO transaction over bus. > > > + compatible = "brcm,iproc-mdio-master-eth"; > > + reg = <0x0>; > > + #address-cells = <1>; > > + #size-cells = <0>; > > + gphy0: eth-phy@10 { > > + reg = <0x10>; > > + phy-mode = "mii"; > > + }; > > + status = "ok" > > + }; > > + > > +For more info on ethernet phy binding, please,refer to: > > +Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/phy.txt > > +Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet.txt > > -- > > 1.9.1 > > Regards, Pramod -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
