However before implementing this, please wait for more feedback. Maybe Rob or net folks will have different opinions.We decided on "pcs-handle" for PCS for several drivers, to be consistent with the situation for network PHYs (which are "phy-handle", settled on after we also had "phy" and "phy-device" and decided to deprecate these two. Surely we should have consistency within the net code - so either "phy" and "pcs" or "phy-handle" and "pcs-handle" but not a mixture of both?True. Then the new property should be "pcs-handle-names"?
IMO, just keep "pcs-handle" and then "pcs-handle-names". We never seem to get free of the deprecated versions (-gpio). While just add/remove 's' would be nice, we have to deal with things like 'mboxes' and I think some other inconsistencies. Rob
