Hi!

In KSZ9131 PHY it is possible to control LEDs blink behavior via
LED mode behavior and select registers. Add DTS properties plus handles
of them inside micrel PHY driver.

I've some concerns about passing raw register values into LED mode
select and behavior. It can be passed via array like in microchip
driver(Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/microchip,lan78xx.txt).
There is the problem in this particular driver - there is a lot of other PHYs
and led mode behavior/select states may intersect, that's the reason why
I did it this way. Is there any good ways to make it look more
properly?

Lets... not do this?

We have a LED subsystem which should probably control the LEDs... so
user can specify behaviours at run-time, instead of them being
hard-coded in the device tree.

Plus, LED subsystem will use same interface for networks LEDs as for
... other LEDs.

Hi Pavel,

I would also like to control the LEDs via subsystem interface, but how I can
configure those to be visible in 'sys/class/leds'? My LEDs are connected
directly to KSZ9131RNX phy device and not to any of GPIO available on the CPU.
Am I missing some DTS entries therefore?

The KSZ9131RNX driver needs to implement some LED methods, like
.led_brightness_set(), .led_blink_set(), .led_hw_is_supported(),
.led_hw_control_set(), .led_hw_control_get().

Look for example at marvell.c driver, or broadcom.c.

Regarding DTS, look at linux/arch/arm/boot/dts/marvell/armada-370-rd.dts.
The ethernet-phy@0 node has leds subnode, describing the LEDs.
