[PATCH v4 3/4] dt-bindings: net: xilinx_axienet: add pcs-handle attribute

From: Andy Chiu <hidden>
Date: 2022-03-21 15:27:26
Also in: linux-devicetree
Subsystem: networking drivers, open firmware and flattened device tree bindings, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Rob Herring, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Conor Dooley, Linus Torvalds

Document the new pcs-handle attribute to support connecting to an
external PHY in SGMII or 1000Base-X modes through the internal PCS/PMA
PHY.
