Subject: [net-next PATCH v2 2/3] Documentation: ACPI: DSD: Document MDIO PHY

Introduce ACPI mechanism to get PHYs registered on a MDIO bus and
provide them to be connected to MAC.

An ACPI node property "mdio-handle" is introduced to reference the
MDIO bus on which PHYs are registered with autoprobing method used
by mdiobus_register().

+=========================
+MDIO bus and PHYs in ACPI
+=========================
+
+The PHYs on a mdiobus are probed and registered using mdiobus_register().
+Later, for connecting these PHYs to MAC, the PHYs registered on the
+mdiobus have to be referenced.
+
+For each MAC node, a property "mdio-handle" is used to reference the
+MDIO bus on which the PHYs are registered. On getting hold of the MDIO
+bus, use find_phy_device() to get the PHY connected to the MAC.
+
+
+An example of this is show below::
+
+	Scope(\_SB.MCE0.PR17) // 1G
+	{
+	  Name (_DSD, Package () {
+	     ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+		 Package () {
+		     Package (2) {"phy-channel", 1},
+		     Package (2) {"phy-mode", "rgmii-id"},
+		     Package (2) {"mdio-handle", Package (){\_SB.MDI0}}
+	      }
+	   })
+	}
+
+	Scope(\_SB.MCE0.PR18) // 1G
+	{
+	  Name (_DSD, Package () {
+	    ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+		Package () {
+		    Package (2) {"phy-channel", 2},
+		    Package (2) {"phy-mode", "rgmii-id"},
+		    Package (2) {"mdio-handle", Package (){\_SB.MDI0}}
+	    }
+	  })
+	}
