[PATCH v3 01/15] docs: phy: Add a part about PHY mode and submode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Besides giving pointers to the relevant functions for PHY mode and
submode configuration, this clarifies the need to set them before
powering on the PHY.

+PHY Mode and Submode
+====================
+
+Once a reference to a PHY is obtained by a controller, the PHY can be configured
+to a PHY mode and submode. PHY modes are described in the `phy_mode` enum while
+submodes are specific to the selected PHY mode.
+
+Mode and submode configuration is done by calling::
+
+	int phy_set_mode_ext(struct phy *phy, enum phy_mode mode, int submode);
+
+If no submode is to be configured, users can call::
+
+	int phy_set_mode(struct phy *phy, enum phy_mode mode);
+
+The PHY mode and submode must not be configured after the PHY has already been
+powered on.
