Fixed link Device Tree binding

------------------------------

Some Ethernet MACs have a "fixed link", and are not connected to a

normal MDIO-managed PHY device. For those situations, a Device Tree

binding allows to describe a "fixed link".

Such a fixed link situation is described by creating a 'fixed-link'

sub-node of the Ethernet MAC device node, with the following

properties:

* 'speed' (integer, mandatory), to indicate the link speed. Accepted

values are 10, 100 and 1000

* 'full-duplex' (boolean, optional), to indicate that full duplex is

used. When absent, half duplex is assumed.

* 'pause' (boolean, optional), to indicate that pause should be

enabled.

* 'asym-pause' (boolean, optional), to indicate that asym_pause should

be enabled.

* 'link-gpios' ('gpio-list', optional), to indicate if a gpio can be read

to determine if the link is up.

Old, deprecated 'fixed-link' binding:

* A 'fixed-link' property in the Ethernet MAC node, with 5 cells, of the

form <a b c d e> with the following accepted values:

- a: emulated PHY ID, choose any but but unique to the all specified

fixed-links, from 0 to 31

- b: duplex configuration: 0 for half duplex, 1 for full duplex

- c: link speed in Mbits/sec, accepted values are: 10, 100 and 1000

- d: pause configuration: 0 for no pause, 1 for pause

- e: asymmetric pause configuration: 0 for no asymmetric pause, 1 for

asymmetric pause

Examples:

ethernet@0 {

...

fixed-link {

speed = <1000>;

full-duplex;

};

...

};

ethernet@1 {

...

fixed-link {

speed = <1000>;

pause;

link-gpios = <&gpio0 12 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;

};

...

};
