Hi Andrew,

With our hardware, and likely Rockchip's as well, the muxed connections
include the MDIO and MII connections
Ah, i did not realise the MII was muxed as well. Then i agree, an MDIO
mux is wrong.

However, please try to make the binding not look like an mdio mux. We
don't want people misunderstanding the binding and thinking it is an
mdio mux.
Do you have any suggestion on what the binding would look like?

All muxes are mostly always represented the same way afaik, or do you
want to simply introduce a new compatible / property?

Thanks!
Maxime
