The motorcomm phy (yt8821) supports the ability to
config the chip mode of serdes.
The yt8821 serdes could be set to AUTO_BX2500_SGMII or
FORCE_BX2500.
In AUTO_BX2500_SGMII mode, SerDes
speed is determined by UTP, if UTP link up
at 2.5GBASE-T, SerDes will work as
2500BASE-X, if UTP link up at
1000BASE-T/100BASE-Tx/10BASE-T, SerDes will work
as SGMII.
In FORCE_BX2500, SerDes always works
as 2500BASE-X.
Very weird wrapping.

Didn't you copy user-name as you name?
sorry, not understand your mean.

Also, your threading is completely broken. Use git send-email or b4.
sorry, not understand your mean of threading broken. the patch used git
send-email.
Your indentation of replies it also very odd!

Explain why this is even needed and why "auto" is not correct in all
cases. In commit msg or property description.
yt8821 phy does not support strapping to config the serdes mode, so config the
serdes mode by dts instead.
Strapping does not matter. You can set it on probe.
even if auto 2500base-x serdes mode is default mode after phy hard reset, and
auto as default must be make sense, but from most our customers's feedback,
force 2500base-x serdes mode is used in project usually to adapt to mac's serdes
settings. for customer's convenience and use simplicity, force 2500base-x serdes
mode selected as default here.
If you are using phylink correctly, the customer should never
know. Both the MAC and the PHY enumerate the capabilities and phylink
will tell you what mode to change to.
I still think this property should be removed, default to auto, and
let phylink tell you if something else should be used.
The property motorcomm,chip-mode will be removed in next patch. found that
phy-mode property in dts can be used to configure the serdes mode. when
phy-mode is set to 2500base-x, the serdes is refered as always in
2500base-x, when phy-mode is set to sgmii, the serdes is refered as in
2500base-x or sgmii according to media speed.

Make it a string, not uint8.
why do you suggest string, the property value(uint8) will be wrote to phy
register.
Device tree is not a list of values to poke into registers. It is a
textual description of the hardware. The driver probably needs to
apply conversions to get register values. e.g. delay are in ns,
voltages are in millivolts, but register typically don't use such
units.
