See > git grep 'fsl,.*-fec' arch/*/boot/dts Hmm, this is a binding for IMX FEC/ENET, and the driver is drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fec_main.c.

Again, the binding is created for IMX FEC/ENET controller and the driver fec_main, so I'm not sure you should look at this binding for PowerPC/MPC512x stuff at all. > > Your description needs to get rephrased, it triggers Mark > Rutland's regular "clocks are not just phandles" reply.
