Subject: [PATCH RESEND 4/4] doc: bindings: add Aquantia PHY node's "firmware-name" binding
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2025 15:13:01 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250923071315.276114-5-root@infi.wang> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250923071315.276114-1-root@infi.wang>
With the switch to generic firmware loader, "firmware-name" binding
was introduced to define the firmware filename.
Provide the document and usage examples.

@@ -11,15 +11,45 @@ a custom firmware is needed for each integration of a PHY.
Several optional bindings are defined that allow these configuration points to
be driven by the PHY driver and reduce dependency on specific FW versions.
+Aquantia PHY's firmware is often provided by PHY-resident SPI flash; if absent
+or outdated, U-Boot can upload firmware over MDIO during PHY initialization.
+The driver uploads only when the PHY reports missing firmware or a fault.
+
Optional properties:
mdi-reversal: 0 or 1 indicating that reversal must be disabled/enabled.
Firmware default is used if the property is missing.
smb-addr: I2C/SMBus address to use, firmware default is used if the property
is missing.
+firmware-name: String containing the filename of the PHY firmware to load
+ (only when CONFIG_PHY_AQUANTIA_UPLOAD_FW is enabled).
Example node:
phy@00 {
reg = <0x00>;
mdi-reversal = <1>;
smb-addr = <0x25>;
+ firmware-name = "aqr-firmware.cld";
+};
+
+Example using the generic firmware loader:
+/ {
+ chosen {
+ /* Select default firmware loader instance */
+ firmware-loader = &fs_loader0;
+ };
+
+ fs_loader0: fs-loader@0 {
+ bootph-all;
+ compatible = "u-boot,fs-loader";
+ /* Load from MMC0, partition 1 */
+ phandlepart = <&mmc_0 1>;
+ };
+
+ mdio {
+ phy@0 {
+ reg = <0>;
+ /* Load this file via the selected fs-loader */
+ firmware-name = "aqr-firmware.cld";
+ };
+ };
};
