Series lan78xx: Read configuration from Device Tree | expand

Commit Message

The Microchip LAN78XX family of devices are Ethernet controllers with
a USB interface. Despite being discoverable devices it can be useful to
be able to configure them from Device Tree, particularly in low-cost
applications without an EEPROM or programmed OTP.

Document the supported properties in a bindings file, adding it to
MAINTAINERS at the same time.

Yes, this is good.

Thanks

It would be good to document what happens when there is an EEPROM. Is
OF used in preference to the EEPROM?

Yes it is. I'll mention it in V2.

I see we have some flags for broken EEE, but nothing already defined to 
enable EEE. Seems like this should either be a user option (therefore 
not in DT) or we should use the broken EEE properties if this is h/w 
dependent.

Needs a unit suffix as defined in property-units.txt.

In the downstream Raspberry Pi kernel we use DT as a way of passing user settings
to drivers - it's more powerful than the command line. I understand that this is
not the done thing here so I'm withdrawing this element of the patch series.

Apologies for the noise.
