Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 01/14] dt-bindings: net: Introduce the ethernet-connector description
The ability to describe the physical ports of Ethernet devices is useful
to describe multi-port devices, as well as to remove any ambiguity with
regard to the nature of the port.
Moreover, describing ports allows for a better description of features
that are tied to connectors, such as PoE through the PSE-PD devices.
Introduce a binding to allow describing the ports, for now with 2
attributes :
- The number of lanes, which is a quite generic property that allows
differentating between multiple similar technologies such as BaseT1
and "regular" BaseT (which usually means BaseT4).
- The media that can be used on that port, such as BaseT for Twisted
Copper, BaseC for coax copper, BaseS/L for Fiber, BaseK for backplane
ethernet, etc. This allows defining the nature of the port, and
therefore avoids the need for vendor-specific properties such as
"micrel,fiber-mode" or "ti,fiber-mode".
The port description lives in its own file, as it is intended in the
future to allow describing the ports for phy-less devices.
