Subject: [net-next: PATCH v3 1/6] Documentation: ACPI: DSD: describe additional MAC configuration

Document additional MAC configuration modes which can be processed
by the existing fwnode_ phylink helpers:

* "managed" standard ACPI _DSD property [1]
* "fixed-link" data-only subnode linked in the _DSD package via
  generic mechanism of the hierarchical data extension [2]

 The "phy-mode" _DSD property is used to describe the connection to
 the PHY. The valid values for "phy-mode" are defined in [4].

+Optional property, which specifies the PHY management type.
+The valid values for "managed" are defined in [4].
+
+fixed-link
+----------
+The "fixed-link" is described by a data-only subnode of the
+MAC port, which is linked in the _DSD package via
+hierarchical data extension (UUID dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b
+in accordance with [5] "_DSD Implementation Guide" document).
+The subnode should comprise a required property ("speed") and
+possibly the optional ones - complete list of parameters and
+their values are specified in [4].

 The following ASL example illustrates the usage of these properties.
