Common PHYs and network PCSes often have the possibility to specify peak-to-peak voltage on the differential pair - the default voltage sometimes needs to be changed for a particular board. Add properties `tx-p2p-microvolt` and `tx-p2p-microvolt-names` for this purpose. The second property is needed to specify the mode for the corresponding voltage in the `tx-p2p-microvolt` property, if the voltage is to be used only for speficic mode. More voltage-mode pairs can be specified. Example usage with only one voltage (it will be used for all supported PHY modes, the `tx-p2p-microvolt-names` property is not needed in this case): tx-p2p-microvolt = <915000>; Example usage with voltages for multiple modes: tx-p2p-microvolt = <915000>, <1100000>, <1200000>; tx-p2p-microvolt-names = "2500base-x", "usb", "pcie"; Add these properties into a separate file phy/transmit-amplitude.yaml, which should be referenced by any binding that uses it.p2p commonly means peer to peer which incidentally could be confusing, can you spell out the property entire: tx-peaktopeak-microvolt or: tx-pk2pk-microvolt for a more compact name maybe?Peer to peer makes little sense in terms of a voltage. I think this is fine as-is.
Understood, my point was that peer is a word that is commonly used in an environment where you are talking about networking equipment at large. Anyway, feel free to ignore it. -- Florian
