[PATCH v6 3/4] dt-bindings: net: ethernet-phy: add property enet-phy-pair-polarity

From: Damien Dejean <hidden>
Date: 2026-02-07 09:25:57
Also in: linux-devicetree, lkml
Subsystem: ethernet phy library, networking drivers, open firmware and flattened device tree bindings, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, Heiner Kallweit, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Rob Herring, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Conor Dooley, Linus Torvalds

Add the property enet-phy-pair-polarity to describe the polarity of the
PHY pairs. To ease PCB designs some manufacturers allow to wire the
pairs with a reverse polarity and provide a way to configure it.

The property 'enet-phy-pair-polarity' sets the polarity of each pair.
Bit 0 to 3 configure the polarity or pairs A to D, if set to 1 the
polarity is reversed for this pair.
