FLF2 is supported through the MDINT (active low) pin. Is the MDINT pin specific to this feature, or a general interrupt pin? Device tree is used to describe the hardware. It should not really describe software or configuration. But the borders are a bit fluffly. Signal edge rates is near to hardware. This is a lot more towards configuration. So i'm not sure a device tree property is the correct way to describe this. This is also a feature i know other PHYs support. The Marvell PHY has a "Metro Ethernet" extension which allows it to report link failures for 1000BASE-T in 10, 20 or 40ms, instead of the usual 750ms. So we need a generic solution other PHYs can implement. As with cable testing, i think it should be an ethtool option.
