How to reflect the polarity swap withing > the pairs? Indeed I see what you mean. Maybe we could add it later as optional binding= and only focus for now on the current needs. According to Maxime proposition he wants the connector types and the supported modes (or number of lanes). On my side I am interested in the PSE phandle. We could begin with this: mdis { /* 1000BaseT Port with Ethernet and PoE */ mdi0: ethernet-mdi@0 { reg =3D <0>; /* Port index */ label =3D "ETH0"; /* Physical label on the device */ connector =3D "RJ45"; /* Connector type */ supported-modes =3D <10BaseT 100BaseTX 1000BaseT>; /* Supported mod= es */ pse =3D <&pse1>; }; }; =20 Your proposition will stay in our mind for future development on the subjec= t. I think we currently don't have enough time available to develop the full package. What do you think?
