[PATCH 1/2] net: stmmac: implement support for passive mode converters via dt

From: Alexandru Ardelean
Date: Fri Sep 06 2019 - 09:03:20 EST


In-between the MAC & PHY there can be a mode converter, which converts one
mode to another (e.g. GMII-to-RGMII).

The converter, can be passive (i.e. no driver or OS/SW information
required), so the MAC & PHY need to be configured differently.

For the `stmmac` driver, this is implemented via a `mac-mode` property in
the device-tree, which configures the MAC into a certain mode, and for the
PHY a `phy_interface` field will hold the mode of the PHY. The mode of the
PHY will be passed to the PHY and from there-on it work in a different
mode. If unspecified, the default `phy-mode` will be used for both.
