Hello!

In commit 84e0f1c13806 ("powerpc/mpc85xx: Add MDIO bus muxing support to
the board device tree(s)") was added following DT property into DT node:
arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/t1023rdb.dts fm1mac3: ethernet@e4000

    phy-connection-type = "sgmii-2500";

But currently kernel does not recognize this "sgmii-2500" phy mode. See
file include/linux/phy.h. In my opinion it should be "2500base-x" as
this is mode which operates at 2.5 Gbps.

I do not think that sgmii-2500 mode exist at all (correct me if I'm
wrong).
Kind of exist, unofficially. Some vendors run SGMII over clocked at
2500. But there is no standard for it, and it is unclear how inband
signalling should work. Whenever i see code saying 2.5G SGMII, i
always ask, are you sure, is it really 2500BaseX? Mostly it gets
changed to 2500BaseX after review.
So this is question for authors of that commit 84e0f1c13806. But it
looks like I cannot send them emails because of following error:

[off-list ref]: connect to freescale.com[192.88.156.33]:25: Connection timed out

Do you have other way how to contact maintainers of that DTS file?
arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/t1023rdb.dts
PHY mode sgmii-2500 does not exist in mainline.
Yes, this is reason why I sent this email. In DTS is specified this mode
which does not exist.
