Add board bindings for the Amediatech X96-AIR STB which ships with model variants distiguished by Ethernet configuration: models using internal 10/100 PHY have a -100 suffix, while models using external Gigabit PHY have a -1000 suffix.Isn't the phy described in DT? Why do you need to describe this 1 difference at the top level?
Users who purchase Android STBs as a cheap Linux media device (or are reimiaging an existing device when they give up on Android) generally have no idea what a PHY is, so reading a device-tree file to pick the correct one is beyond them. Most people blindly try all dtb files for a class of device until they find one that works, so top-level naming is simply to hint the process and reduce guesswork. It’s not perfect, but it does appear to reduce the quantity of “Ethernet doesn’t work!” posts seen in support forums. Christian
