That's the MDIO address of the PHY. It's a bit difficult to use a phy device as the driver uses the libphy. And that would break the platform using it. Or maybe you have something in mind?
The port-id property description could be a little more verbose. What do those numbers actually mean?
I'll add some description. That's the Ethernet port number. I reused a property (port-id) already used by other drivers. Antoine -- Antoine T?nart, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com
