Some LEDs are designed to represent a state of another device. That may
be USB port, Ethernet interface, CPU, hard drive and more.

We already have support for LEDs that are designed to indicate USB port
(e.g. light on when USB device gets connected). There is DT binding for
that and Linux implementation in USB trigger.

This patchset adds support for describing LEDs that should react to
Ethernet interface status. That is commonly used in routers. They often
have LED to display state and activity of selected physical port. It's
also common to have multiple LEDs, each reacting to a specific link
speed.


I notice this is specific to ethernet speed... I wonder if we should
expand this also to other thing like duplex state or even rx/tx.

I didn't see any router with separated Rx/Tx LEDs, but it still sounds
like a valid case.

We could add flags for that in proposed field like:
trigger-sources = <&port (SPEED_1000 | LINK | TX)>;

Or add separated field for non-speed flags like:
trigger-sources = <&port SPEED_1000 (LINK | TX)>;

Let's see what DT experts say about it.
