[PATCH net-next v2 3/3] dt-bindings: ethernet-phy: add optional mii-lite-mode flag
From: Kamil Horák - 2N
Date: Mon Jun 23 2025 - 11:18:00 EST
From: Kamil Horák (2N) <kamilh@xxxxxxxx>
The Broadcom bcm54810 and bcm54811 PHYs support MII and MII-Lite
interface modes. The MII-Lite mode does not use TXR, RXER, CRS and COL
signals. However, the hardware strapping only selects MII mode,
distinction between MII and MII-Lite must be done by software.
Add optional mii-lite-mode flag to switch the PHY to MII-Lite mode.
