Theoretically if the RJ45 port binding was supported it would make more sense, but in reality it's not feasible as the PSE controller need this information in its init process. The PSE controller reset all its port to apply a configuration so we can't do it when the consumer (RJ45) probe. It would reset the other ports if one consumer is probed later in the process. > As each entry is just a power rail, why can't the regulator binding be > used here? Olekisj already answered about it. PSE PI is like a regulator but with few different features and more information like the pinout and the polarity, so we could not really fully rely on the regulator binding style. > > + > > + polarity-supported: > > + $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/string-array > > + description: > > + Polarity configuration supported by the PSE PI pairsets. > > + minItems: 1 > > + maxItems: 4 > > + items: > > + enum: > > + - MDI-X > > + - MDI > > + - X > > + - S > > + > > + vpwr-supply: > > + description: Regulator power supply for the PSE PI. > > I don't see this being used anywhere. Right, I forgot to add it to the PD692x0 and TPS23881 binding example! Regards, -- Köry Maincent, Bootlin Embedded Linux and kernel engineering https://bootlin.com
