[PATCH phy-next 01/13] dt-bindings: phy: lynx-10g: initial document
From: Vladimir Oltean
Date: Thu May 28 2026 - 13:29:16 EST
Add a schema for the 10G Lynx SerDes. This is very similar to the modern
form of the 28G Lynx SerDes, which is very much the intention.
We allow both forms of #phy-cells = <1> in the top-level provider
and #phy-cells = <0> in the per-lane provider for more flexibility to
consumers, and because the kernel code is shared with the 28G Lynx which
already has that support for compatibility reasons.

+description:
+ The 10G Lynx is a multi-protocol SerDes block which handles networking, PCIe,
+ SATA and other high-speed interfaces. It is present on most QorIQ and
+ Layerscape SoCs. The register map is common, but the integration is
+ SoC-specific, with the differences consisting in register endianness, the
+ number of lanes, protocol converters available per lane and their location in
+ the PCCR registers. Some SoCs have multiple SerDes blocks and those differ in
+ their protocol capabilities per lane.
