[PATCH v3 1/2] dt-bindings: net: adi,adin: document LP Termination property

From: Osose Itua <hidden>
Date: 2026-01-07 22:29:34
Also in: lkml, netdev
Subsystem: analog devices inc adin driver, networking drivers, open firmware and flattened device tree bindings, the rest · Maintainers: Michael Hennerich, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Rob Herring, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Conor Dooley, Linus Torvalds

Add "adi,low-cmode-impedance" boolean property which, when present,
configures the PHY for the lowest common-mode impedance on the receive
pair for 100BASE-TX operation by clearing the B_100_ZPTM_EN_DIMRX bit.
This is suited for capacitive coupled applications and other
applications where there may be a path for high common-mode noise to
reach the PHY.

If this value is not present, the value of the bit by default is 1,
which is normal termination (zero-power termination) mode.
