[PATCH 4/5] dt-bindings: net: maxlinear: add MxL86211C lane mapping support

From: Robert Marko

Date: Wed Sep 30 2026 - 08:35:25 EST


Describe the optional lane-to-ASP mapping for the MxL86211C PHY.

The mapping accounts for board-level swaps between its physical TPI
lanes and analog signal processing lanes.

MxL86211C supports per lane mapping.
