[PATCH net-next 01/28] dt-bindings: phy: Add QorIQ SerDes binding

From: Sean Anderson
Date: Fri Jun 17 2022 - 16:33:52 EST


This adds a binding for the SerDes module found on QorIQ processors. The
phy reference has two cells, one for the first lane and one for the
last. This should allow for good support of multi-lane protocols when
(if) they are added. There is no protocol option, because the driver is
designed to be able to completely reconfigure lanes at runtime.
Generally, the phy consumer can select the appropriate protocol using
set_mode. For the most part there is only one protocol controller
(consumer) per lane/protocol combination. The exception to this is the
B4860 processor, which has some lanes which can be connected to
multiple MACs. For that processor, I anticipate the easiest way to
resolve this will be to add an additional cell with a "protocol
controller instance" property.

Each serdes has a unique set of supported protocols (and lanes). The
support matrix is stored in the driver and is selected based on the
compatible string. It is anticipated that a new compatible string will
need to be added for each serdes on each SoC that drivers support is
added for.

There are two PLLs, each of which can be used as the master clock for
each lane. Each PLL has its own reference. For the moment they are
required, because it simplifies the driver implementation. Absent
reference clocks can be modeled by a fixed-clock with a rate of 0.

+description: |
+ This binding describes the SerDes devices found in NXP's QorIQ line of
+ processors. The SerDes provides up to eight lanes. Each lane may be
+ configured individually, or may be combined with adjacent lanes for a
+ multi-lane protocol. The SerDes supports a variety of protocols, including up
+ to 10G Ethernet, PCIe, SATA, and others. The specific protocols supported for
+ each lane depend on the particular SoC.

+ The cells contain the following arguments.

+ The first lane in the group. Lanes are numbered based on the register
+ offsets, not the I/O ports. This corresponds to the letter-based
+ ("Lane A") naming scheme, and not the number-based ("Lane 0") naming
+ scheme. On most SoCs, "Lane A" is "Lane 0", but not always.
