Re: [PATCH net-next 08/12] dt-bindings: net: toshiba,tc965x-dwmac: add TC956x Ethernet bridge

[Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch>]

Your ASCII art of the chip might be useful here as documentation.

Why not add an subnodes for the ethernet interfaces?

I've not got to the GPIO driver patch yet...

Is the GPIO part of the ethernet device, or part of the chip? The
hierarchy here should match the hierarchy of the hardware.

You second ethernet does not have a gpio controller?
