PATCH v3 1/1 Add OF bindings to Micrel ksz9021 PHY

Some boards require custom parameters be passed to the Micrel PHY. Allow these boards to specify custom timing parameters in the device tree node.

Changes since v2:
- limited the scope to just ksz9021 rather than all PHYs

Changes since v1:
- removed redefinition of registers and addresses

PATCH v3 1/1 net/phy: micrel: Add OF configuration support for ksz9021

Some boards require custom PHY configuration, for example due to trace length differences. Add the ability to configure these registers in order to get the PHY to function on boards that need it.

Because PHYs are auto-detected based on MDIO device IDs, allow PHY configuration to be specified in the parent Ethernet device node if no PHY device node is present.

+Micrel KSZ9021 Gigabit Ethernet PHY
+
+Some boards require special tuning values, particularly when it comes to
+clock delays.  You can specify clock delay values by adding
+micrel-specific properties to an Ethernet OF device node.
+
+Optional properties:
+- micrel,clk-control-pad-skew : Timing offset for the MII clock line
+- micrel,rx-data-pad-skew : Timing offset for the RX MII pad
+- micrel,tx-data-pad-skew : Timing offset for the TX MII pad
+
+Example:
+	&enet {
+		micrel,clk-control-pad-skew = <0xf0f0>;
+		micrel,rx-data-pad-skew = <0x0000>;
+		micrel,tx-data-pad-skew = <0xffff>;
+		status = "okay";

Can someone knowledgable in this area please review this patch?

Thanks.

If phy binding is phy node, there only check of_node, don't re-evaluate the phy node.

This won't necessarily work. In my board, I don't think it's possible to manually specify the PHY, as most of the fields required by the OF PHY node don't apply to this device (at least according to phy.txt). There are no interrupts, no interrupt parent, and it's unclear what the reg or linux,phandle fields do. All of these are required fields, none of which seem to apply to this particular board. Furthermore, it doesn't seem to be possible to specify a particular PHY, such as the ksz9021.

I see the pattern of getting OF settings from a parent's node used elsewhere in the kernel. For example, in mmc_of_parse(), or more similarly in the chipidea ci_hdrc_probe() driver.

It's done this way in case it's not possible to add a phy node, as in this case.

Yes, the patch is only reasonable for your platform, but it is the phy driver for different platforms that you must considerate. Please add more example cases in binding doc.
