Hi guys, I will fix typo issues (s/vesrion/version and ethernet @). Concerning compatible string. For sure "snps,dwmac-3.50a" string is not used inside glue driver. I perfere to keep it for information but if you really want that I remove it I will not block ;) 2016-03-21 16:36 GMT+01:00 Joachim Eastwood [off-list ref]:

+- clocks: Must contain a phandle for each entry in clock-names. +- clock-names: Should be "stmmaceth" for the host clock.
We can remove host clock (stmmac eth) entry here and refer to stmmac.txt binding for common entry

This doesn't sound like the clock input signal name...quoted

+ Should be "tx-clk" for the MAC TX clock. + Should be "rx-clk" for the MAC RX clock.How can other DWMAC blocks not have these clocks? The glue can't really add these clocks. It could combine them into one or a new version of DWMAC could have a different number of clock inputs. So if there is variation here, then some of the bindings are probably wrong. I guess the only change I'm suggesting is possibly moving these into common binding doc.The LPC18xx implementation probably have these clocks as well but the LPC1850 user manual only documents the main clock. Someone with access to the IP block doc from Synopsys should be able to check which clocks the MAC really needs. Rockchip bindings have two clocks named "mac_clk_rx" and "mac_clk_tx". These are probably the same as stm32 needs so maybe use these names and move them into the main doc and update the rockchip binding.
I think we can use same name. But I have a doubt on moving it in a common bindings (maybe I don't well understood). When you say "common binding file" is it "stmmac.txt" binding ? If yes does it mean that we have to control it inside stmmac driver (no more in glue) ? In this case those clocks will become "required" for stm32 and rockship but not for others chip. It could create confusion? Best regards Alex
