dt-bindings: ptp: Introduce MII time stamping devices.
This patch add a new binding that allows non-PHY MII time stamping devices to find their buses. The new documentation covers both the generic binding and one upcoming user.

ZHAW InES PTP time stamping IP core
|
||||
|
||||
The IP core needs two different kinds of nodes. The control node
|
||||
lives somewhere in the memory map and specifies the address of the
|
||||
control registers. There can be up to three port handles placed as
|
||||
attributes of PHY nodes. These associate a particular MII bus with a
|
||||
port index within the IP core.
|
||||
|
||||
Required properties of the control node:
|
||||
|
||||
- compatible: "ines,ptp-ctrl"
|
||||
- reg: physical address and size of the register bank
|
||||
|
||||
Required format of the port handle within the PHY node:
|
||||
|
||||
- timestamper: provides control node reference and
|
||||
the port channel within the IP core
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
tstamper: timestamper@60000000 {
|
||||
compatible = "ines,ptp-ctrl";
|
||||
reg = <0x60000000 0x80>;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
ethernet@80000000 {
|
||||
...
|
||||
mdio {
|
||||
...
|
||||
ethernet-phy@3 {
|
||||
...
|
||||
timestamper = <&tstamper 0>;
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
};

Time stamps from MII bus snooping devices
|
||||
|
||||
This binding supports non-PHY devices that snoop the MII bus and
|
||||
provide time stamps. In contrast to PHY time stamping drivers (which
|
||||
can simply attach their interface directly to the PHY instance), stand
|
||||
alone MII time stamping drivers use this binding to specify the
|
||||
connection between the snooping device and a given network interface.
|
||||
|
||||
Non-PHY MII time stamping drivers typically talk to the control
|
||||
interface over another bus like I2C, SPI, UART, or via a memory mapped
|
||||
peripheral. This controller device is associated with one or more
|
||||
time stamping channels, each of which snoops on a MII bus.
|
||||
|
||||
The "timestamper" property lives in a phy node and links a time
|
||||
stamping channel from the controller device to that phy's MII bus.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
tstamper: timestamper@10000000 {
|
||||
compatible = "ines,ptp-ctrl";
|
||||
reg = <0x10000000 0x80>;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
ethernet@20000000 {
|
||||
mdio {
|
||||
ethernet-phy@1 {
|
||||
timestamper = <&tstamper 0>;
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
ethernet@30000000 {
|
||||
mdio {
|
||||
ethernet-phy@2 {
|
||||
timestamper = <&tstamper 1>;
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
In this example, time stamps from the MII bus attached to phy@1 will
|
||||
appear on time stamp channel 0 (zero), and those from phy@2 appear on
|
||||
channel 1.
