STM32 use the generic binding defined in linux:

See also U-Boot: doc/device-tree-bindings/net/phy.txt

Since this is a PHY property, shouldn't that be handled in drivers/net/phy/ instead of MAC driver ?


I was my first idea but I don't found found the correct location in phy (driver or uclass)

to manage these generic property and the generic property "reset-gpios" was already

managed in eth driver, so I continue to patch the driver.


But I come back to this idea after your remark....

=> in linux these property are managed in

     drivers/net/mdio/of_mdio.c::of_mdiobus_phy_device_register

         parse DT node and add info in mdio

     drivers/net/phy/mdio_device.c::mdio_device_reset

         called in  mdio_probe / mdio_remove


In my first search, I don't found the same level in the U-Boot drivers in drivers/net/phy/

Note that this is MDIO-wide PHY reset (e.g. you can have single reset line connected to multiple PHYs on single MDIO bus), this is not PHY-specific reset.

but I miss the uclass defined in drivers/net/eth-phy-uclass.c


Finally I think I need to manage the generic binding property

(reset-gpios, reset-assert-us, reset-deassert-us) directly  in

=> drivers/net/mdio-uclass


The GPIO RESET will be managed in mdio  ops: pre_probe/ post_remove

as it is done in linux

warning: today post_remove ops don't exit in u-class.


Do you think it is the correct location ?

For single-PHY reset, the correct location is in drivers/net/phy/ somewhere.

Do you think it should be a new serie (migrate the eqos property in mdio)

after this eqos is accepted

or I shoudl sent a new serie to replace this serie.

I'll leave that decision to Ramon/Joe.
