[PATCH v5 net-next 1/2] dt-bindings: phy: cadence-torrent: Update property values to support multilink SERDES configuration

From: Gokul Praveen

Date: Wed Jul 08 2026 - 04:39:43 EST


Update the maxItems value of clocks parameter as 3 clocks
(refclk,pll1_refclk,phy_en_refclk) are supported.

Update the clock-names parameter to support mutilink SERDES configuration
as the existing enum configuration of the clock-names parameter does not
allow both pll1_refclk and phy_en_refclk to be used at the same time,
hence preventing the support for the configuration (refclk,pll1_refclk,
phy_en_refclk), which is neeed for multilink SERDES usecases.

For multilink SERDES configurations where the links require different
clock speeds, all 3 clocks(refclk, pll1_refclk and phy_en_refclk)
are needed.

For example,considering the USXGMII+SGMII multilink SERDES configuration
usecase, having only 1 reference clock(refclk) fails because USXGMII
requires a clock speed of 156.25 Mhz and SGMII protocol requires an
clock speed of 100 Mhz.

Since one reference clock(refclk) alone cannot cater to the 2
different clock speed requirements of these protocols, the second
input reference clock(pll1_refclk) along with phy_en_refclk
is also needed.
