[PATCH v4 7/7] arm64: dts: amlogic: t7: khadas-vim4: enable the ethernet port

From: Lucas Tanure

Date: Thu Oct 22 2026 - 16:12:27 EST


The board carries a Realtek RTL8211F gigabit PHY on the external
management bus, connected to the MAC over RGMII.

Enable the controller, hand it the ethernet pins and point it at the
PHY. RGMII needs a delay on each of its two clocks. The board traces
add none, so the PHY adds both, which is what rgmii-id asks of it.

The PHY interrupt output is wired to GPIOH_6, so link changes are
reported instead of polled. The PHY reset is an RC network on the
board, not a SoC pin, so there is no reset line to describe.
