Re: [PATCH 1/3][v2] net: phy: introduce 1000BASE-KX and 10GBASE-KR

The reason I mentioned maybe I should put the backplane property in
fsl's binding is because the backplane implementation is really
vendor specific, it's heavily relay how hardware implements the
feature, maybe another vendor's hardware only needs a boolean
property for driver to tell it should work in backplane, hardware
can deal with different modes, or even no any special property
needed if the hardware is strong enough to handle any connections, I
cannot assume.  But I know what fsl's hardware needs to support
backplane.

This is the key point really. We don't really care about the Freescale
PCS. We want a generic solution for 1000BASE-KX and 10GBASE-KR,
independent of who makes it, Marvell, Micrel, Broadcom, or Acme.

So, what generic properties are needed for 1000BASE-KX and 10GBASE-KR?
Properties that most/all manufactures are likely to need?
