This patch add the option to enable DCRS bit in GMAC control register.
Default is disabled if snps,dcrs is not defined.

For MII, Carrier Sense (CRS) must be asserted during transmission
whereas in RGMII, CRS is not. RGMII does not provide a way to signal
loss of carrier during a transmission.

When DCRS bit set high in control register, the MAC transmitter
ignore the (G)MII Carrier Sense signal during frame transmission
in the half-duplex mode. This request results in no errors generated
because of Loss of Carrier or No Carrier during such transmission.

Since you know this is only required under (G)MII, could you not re-use
the "phy-mode" property, instead of adding another one?

Better yet, use the "interface" field in the platform data. This way you'll
fix non-DT devices as well. You could then avoid touching the platform driver,
and just modify the driver core.

yes this is what I asked. Thx ChenYu for the this detail.
Ley Foon Tan, could you do that? Let me know
