net: macb: Introduce phy-handle DT functionality
Consider the situation where a macb netdev is connected through
a phydev that sits on a mii bus other than the one provided to
this particular netdev. This situation is what this patchset aims
to accomplish through the existing phy-handle optional binding.
This optional binding (as described in the ethernet DT bindings doc)
directs the netdev to the phydev to use. This is precisely the
situation this patchset aims to solve, so it makes sense to introduce
the functionality to this driver (where the physical layout discussed
was encountered).
The devicetree snippet would look something like this:
...
ethernet@feedf00d {
...
phy-handle = <&phy0> // the first netdev is physically wired to phy0
...
phy0: phy@0 {
...
reg = <0x0> // MDIO address 0
...
}
phy1: phy@1 {
...
reg = <0x1> // MDIO address 1
...
}
...
}
ethernet@deadbeef {
...
phy-handle = <&phy1> // tells the driver to use phy1 on the
// first mac's mdio bus (it's wired thusly)
...
}
...

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
