Please don't copy phy.txt. Just refer to it. Use text like: The PHY device uses the binding described in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/phy.txt It may additionally have the following properties
+Optional properties: +- vsc8531,edge-rate : Edge rate sets the drive strength of the MAC + interface output signals. Changing the drive + strength will affect the edge rate of the output + signal.
Are we specifying a rate or a strength? It is called edge-rate, so it
expect it to be a rate, mV/pS or something similar.
