[PATCH 2/3] dt-bindings: net: fsl,gianfar-mdio: Update information about TBI
From: J. Neuschäfer via B4 Relay
Date: Thu Feb 20 2025 - 12:29:47 EST
From: "J. Neuschäfer" <j.ne@xxxxxxxxxx>
When this binding was originally written, all known TSEC Ethernet
controllers had a Ten-Bit Interface (TBI). However, some datasheets such
as for the MPC8315E suggest that this is not universally true:
The eTSECs do not support TBI, GMII, and FIFO operating modes, so all
references to these interfaces and features should be ignored for this
device.

- As of this writing, every TSEC is associated with an internal Ten-Bit
