In order to support half-duplex operation at 10M and 100M link speeds, the PHY collision detection signal (COL) should be routed to ICSSG GPIO pin (PRGx_PRU0/1_GPI10) so that firmware can detect collision signal and apply the CSMA/CD algorithm applicable for half duplex operation. A DT property, "ti,half-duplex-capable" is introduced for this purpose. If board has PHY COL pin conencted to PRGx_PRU1_GPIO10, this DT property can be added to eth node of ICSSG, MII port to support half duplex operation at that port.
I take it the GPIO here is not visble to the OS and that's why it's not described in DT?

enable the mode? Maybe too late if it's already been assumed not supported, but shouldn't supporting half duplex be the default? I guess half duplex isn't too common any more. Rob
