Most boards just connect the MACs together and don't have PHYs in the middle. There are some boards which do have PHYs, but they don't need any special mode. > In the connection there there is no Ethernet cable at all but routes > within the circuit boards but instead has capacitive coupling on routes.

So it is then valid to put it into DT, if it is actually needed. > MLT-3 is related to encoding used in the signals -- I suppose wiki page is > good introduction reference: > > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MLT-3_encoding MLT-3 is well defined. What i could not find is any reference to what reduced MLT-3 is. If it is not part of any standard, why don't you just hard code the PHY to always use MTL-3 which is defined as part of 802.3? I get the feeling reduced MLT-3 is TI proprietary. As such, it should default to MLT-3 as defined in 802.3 and there could then be an option to enable this proprietary mode for anybody we wants to use it. So before accepting any patches, we need a better understanding of that reduced MLT-3 is and why you would want to use it. Andrew
