What is there? A phy chip, or something else?It's "something else", there's a phy which aggregates 4xSGMIIs to 1xQSGMII, we are on the media side here, the MAC side is connected to the switch through QSGMII.quoted
Perhaps some DT property should be added to explicitly enable the use of the inband status...Yes, that would be fine.
Isn't it a bit weird to need a new DT property for this? Shouldn't fixed-link always imply this inband status thing? Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com
