[PATCH 4/6] dt-bindings: can: m_can: Document transceiver implementation as a phy
From: Faiz Abbas
Date: Fri Nov 02 2018 - 15:24:24 EST
Some transceivers need a configuration step (for example, pulling
a standby line low) for them to start sending messages. Instead of a
parent child relationship, the transceiver can be implemented as a
phy with the configuration done in the phy driver. The bitrate
limitations can then be obtained by the driver using said phy
node.
Document the above implementation.
