Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/2] dt-bindings: net: rockchip-dwmac: allow output clock_in_out for RGMII
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 18:59:32 +1200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717065933.2629501-2-gahing@gahingwoo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717065933.2629501-1-gahing@gahingwoo.com>

The clock_in_out description said RGMII must use "input". That is no
longer true: an RGMII PHY with no crystal can take its 25 MHz reference
from the SoC, in which case clock_in_out is "output". Document it.

       For RMII, "input" means PHY provides the reference clock(50MHz),
       "output" means GMAC provides the reference clock.
