True. I picked the port type properties that are interpreted by
phylink. Basically, I think that everything that's described in:
devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet-controller.yaml
is valid for the ACPI as well - the kernel already is using 'fwnode_'
in most (if not all) cases.

Would you like me to add "managed" and "fixed-link"
description/examples to the mentioned file?

In the beginning of the mvpp2_port_probe, there's:

        phy_mode = fwnode_get_phy_mode(port_fwnode);
        if (phy_mode < 0) {
                dev_err(&pdev->dev, "incorrect phy mode\n");
                err = phy_mode;
                goto err_free_netdev;
        }

So we won't reach further checks in case anything is wrong with it.

Best regards,
Marcin
