[net-next PATCH v8 4/4] dt-bindings: Document Marvell Aquantia PHY
From: Christian Marangi
Date: Tue Nov 14 2023 - 09:09:02 EST
Document bindings for Marvell Aquantia PHY.
The Marvell Aquantia PHY require a firmware to work correctly and there
at least 3 way to load this firmware.
Describe all the different way and document the binding "firmware-name"
to load the PHY firmware from userspace.

+description: |
+ Marvell Aquantia Ethernet PHY require a firmware to be loaded to actually
+ work.
+
+ This can be done and is implemented by OEM in 3 different way:
+ - Attached SPI flash directly to the PHY with the firmware. The PHY
+ will self load the firmware in the presence of this configuration.
+ - Read from a dedicated partition on system NAND declared in an
+ NVMEM cell, and loaded to the PHY using its mailbox interface.
+ - Manually provided firmware loaded from a file in the filesystem.
