[PATCH v2] Documentation: Add MDIO bus node to PHY binding document

From: Jonas Jensen
Date: Wed Nov 13 2013 - 09:08:37 EST


Add MDIO bus node segment and update the example,
allowing trivial bindings to break out boilerplate.

Notes:
Thanks Mark,

This should have the changes from your comments. It also adds optional properties "compatible" and "reg", were those overlooked or left out intentionally?

Changes since v1:

1. reformat "MDIO bus node" description and add, node name should be "mdio"
2. reformat property descriptions, describe what the cells represent
3. add optional properties
4. add a description after "PHY nodes"

Applies to next-20131113

+MDIO Bus Nodes
+
+An MDIO bus node describes an MDIO bus, and is a container for PHY nodes
+as described below. An MDIO bus node should be named "mdio".

+Required properties:
+
+- #address-cells = Should be <1>, specifies the number of cells needed
+ to encode the PHY address
+- #size-cells = Should be <0>
+
+Optional Properties:
+
+- compatible : Should contain a specific name for the MDIO bus,
+ if known, followed by "-mdio"
+- reg : Should contain register location and length
+
+
