[PATCH net-next v5 4/5] dt-bindings: net: x-powers: add AC200/AC300 EPHY packages
From: James Hilliard
Date: Sun Aug 09 2026 - 16:29:48 EST
The AC200 and AC300 contain compatible Fast Ethernet link PHYs which
report the same Clause 22 identifier and use the same link-side register
layout. Their package control paths differ: AC200 uses registers in its
I2C MFD, while the AC300 control range is at a second Clause 22 address
fixed at 16 plus the link address.
Describe both variants as Ethernet PHY packages. The package reg value is
the link PHY base address and the child supplies the documented PHY ID,
because the identification registers cannot be read until package setup
has completed. The AC300 driver reaches its control range with the PHY
package offset helpers. The AC200 package instead references its MFD.
Give fixed hardware variant-specific compatibles. Also provide an ACx00
compatible for systems which can contain either package, with one packed
NVMEM field containing calibration in bits 3 through 0, the AC300 selector
in bit 8 and its low-calibration selector in bit 9. Such a description
contains the potential resources for both backends; the driver consumes
only those selected by the configuration field.
Describe the package clock, supply and optional xMII receive-clock
inversion needed by some integrations. A fixed AC200 package may omit the
NVMEM field and use its internal calibration copy. Limit AC300-capable link
addresses to 0 through 7 so the control address remains in the documented
range 16 through 23.

+description:
+ The AC200 and AC300 contain compatible Fast Ethernet PHY blocks which report
+ the same Clause 22 PHY ID and use the same link-side register layout. The
+ package control paths differ. AC200 control registers are part of an I2C MFD,
+ while AC300 control registers occupy a second Clause 22 address fixed at 16
+ plus the link PHY address.
+
+ Systems with a known package use the corresponding AC200 or AC300 compatible.
+ Systems which can contain either package use the ACx00 compatible and a
+ packed NVMEM configuration field to select the backend at runtime.
+
+ The link PHY cannot report its ID until the package control sequence has
+ completed, so its child node supplies the documented PHY ID. The package and
+ child use the same base address. The AC200 driver programs that address into
+ the package, while the AC300 driver derives its control address from it.
