Add the 'realtek,eee-led-mode-disable' property to disable EEE
LED mode on Realtek PHYs that support it.

Signed-off-by: Matthias Kaehlcke <mka@chromium.org>

TODO: adapt PHY core to deal with optional compatible strings

Changes in v3:
- added entry for compatible string
- added compatible string to example
- mention that the new property is only available for RTL8211E

Changes in v2:
- document 'realtek,eee-led-mode-disable' instead of
  'realtek,enable-ssc' in the initial version

Yes. Does this even work at the moment? I would expect
of_mdiobus_child_is_phy() to return false, indicating the device is
not actually a PHY.

Indeed, it currently doesn't work atm. I found that removing the check
for dev->of_node in of_mdiobus_link_mdiodev() helps, but I imagine
doing (only) this might have undesired side-effects.

O.K.

Please put RFC in patches like this which don't actually work and so
should not be merged. We don't want David accidentally merging them!

+Realtek PHY properties.
+
+This document describes properties of Realtek PHYs.
+
+Optional properties:
+- compatible: should be one of the following:
+  "realtek,rtl8201cp", "realtek,rtl8201f", "realtek,rtl8211",
+  "realtek,rtl8211b", "realtek,rtl8211c", "realtek,rtl8211dn",
+  "realtek,rtl8211e", "realtek,rtl8211f", "rtl8366rb"
+
+  the property is required if any of the properties are specified that
+  are only supported for certain Realtek PHYs.
+
+- realtek,eee-led-mode-disable: Disable EEE LED mode on this port.
+
+  Only supported for "realtek,rtl8211e".
+
+
+Example:
+
+mdio0 {
+	compatible = "snps,dwmac-mdio";
+	#address-cells = <1>;
+	#size-cells = <0>;
+
+	ethphy: ethernet-phy@1 {
+		compatible = "realtek,rtl8211e";
+		reg = <1>;
+		realtek,eee-led-mode-disable;
+	};
+};
