Per the RMII specification, the REF_CLK is sourced from MAC to PHY or from an external source. But for TJA11xx PHYs, they support to output a 50MHz RMII reference clock on REF_CLK pin. Previously the "nxp,rmii-refclk-in" was added to indicate that in RMII mode, if this property present, REF_CLK is input to the PHY, otherwise it is output. This seems inappropriate now. Because according to the RMII specification, the REF_CLK is originally input, so there is no need to add an additional "nxp,rmii-refclk-in" property to declare that REF_CLK is input. On the contrary, a vendor-defined property needs to be added if we want the TJA11xx PHYs to provide the 50MHz RMII reference clock. Therefore, it is more reasonable to add "nxp,phy-output-refclk" instead of "nxp,rmii-refclk-in". Signed-off-by: Wei Fang <wei.fang@nxp.com> --- V2 changes: 1. Changed the property name from "nxp,reverse-mode" to "nxp,phy-output-refclk". 2. Simplified the description of the property. 3. Modified the subject and commit message. --- .../devicetree/bindings/net/nxp,tja11xx.yaml | 18 +++--------------- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-)
