[PATCH net-next v2] dt-bindings: net: Document Marvell PHY "marvell,reg-init"
From: Rob Herring (Arm)
Date: Fri Sep 25 2026 - 10:17:53 EST
The Marvell PHY driver consumes marvell,reg-init as one or more
<page register mask value> tuples. Define the property so dtbs_check
validates the existing board descriptions.
Existing users have no compatible or just "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22"
so this has to go into the generic ethernet-phy.yaml schema. Marking it
deprecated both for that reason and because opaque register
initialization values are discouraged in DT.
