I think we should do the same here, so I > would suggest using "pcs-handle". On 1G and up ethernet, we have 2 PHYs. There's the external (typically) ethernet PHY which is what the above properties are for. Then there's the on-chip serdes PHY similar to SATA, PCIe, etc. which includes the PCS part. For this part, we should use the generic PHY binding. I think we already have bindings doing that. Rob
