Should any phy/mdio container be placed here? Also, any reason this node is disabled?
The board has no phy.
We will add external phy boards to macb interface and they will be present in dt-overlay.
Then remove the macb0 node from here and keep it in overlay.
What about choosing a phy and making it enabled by default. Because I
doubt people will use this board without a phy under Linux, honestly.
Overlays would remove this "by default" node and add the replacing phy
if hardware plugged-in is different.
By doing this we avoid having difficult situations where the most used
phy with this board is disabled or non existant and that we absolutely
need an overlay for such a basic thing as having Ethernet working
out-of-the-box...
Just my $0.02, but it might simplify our life in the long run...
Best regards,
Nicolas
