Hi Corentin

+Required properties for the mdio-mux node:

This is too generic. Please add a more specific compatible for this
particular mux. You can keep "mdio-mux", since that is what the MDIO
subsystem will look for.
I will add allwinner,sun8i-h3-mdio-mux

+- phy-is-integrated
So the last thing you said is that the mux is not the problem
here. Something else is locking up. Did you discover what?

I really would like phy-is-integrated to go away.
I have found the problem: by enabling ephy clk/reset the timeout does not occur anymore.
So we could remove phy-is-integrated by:
Moving internal phy clk/reset handling in mdio_mux_syscon_switch_fn()
But this means:
- getting internalphy node always by manually get internal_mdio/internal_phy (and not by the given phyhandle)
- doing some unnecessary tasks (enable/scan/disable) when external_phy is needed
Hello

I have get rid of phy-is-integrated, but mdio_mux_syscon_switch_fn need to enable/disable ephy clk/reset.
And so access to internal PHY node.
But current DT made this ugly: (need to find mdio-mux then internalmdio then internal PHY)

Since MAC cannot reset/choose internal MDIO without ephy clk/rst, could we interpret this as thoses clk/rst must be set in emac node.
This will simplify a lot the code.
