[PATCH] dt-binding: phy: don't confuse with Ethernet phy properties

From: Baruch Siach
Date: Sun Sep 03 2017 - 10:33:43 EST


The generic PHY 'phys' property sometime appears in the same node with
the Ethernet PHY 'phy' or 'phy-handle' properties. Add a warning in
phy-bindings.txt to reduce confusion.

phy-names : the names of the PHY corresponding to the PHYs present in the
