Oh, so this is stating a desired frequency and not something that already exists? What determines this frequency? Is it based on board design, or just on the MDIO standard, etc?

But it's not used by driver. (I know I should not say this :) ) Saying it is fine as long as you still put it in the device tree. :-) -Scott -- 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
