A recent commit extended the documentation of the ethernet-phy
compatible property, but placed the new paragraph under the max-speed
property.

s/_/-/ in property names please.

That said, I don't follow the meaning. Does this cause the kernel to do
something different, or is is simply that a 25MHz ref clock is wired up?

Surely that should be described via the common clock bindings? Or if
internal through a clock-frequency property?

Mark.

Ouch, copied from variable name, sorry.

Yes, the driver currently sets this configuration bit based on a common
clock binding.

However, it turns out the meaning of the bit is reversed on some PHY
variants. On most PHYs 50 MHz mode is selected by setting this bit,
whereas on the PHYs that need this new property, setting it selects 25
MHz mode instead.

The driver currently selects the mode using the common clock bindings,
but this new property is needed to properly handle those PHY variants on
which the clock configuration bit has the reverse meaning.

Thanks,
Johan

Maybe rename the property to something like rmii-ref-clk-25mhz-active-high
then? Also you should probably make it more explicit that this is a
hardware property and not for adjusting the clock.

It's not very nice from Micrel to create Phys with exactly the same
device id but the meaning of this bit reversed.

You're right, but how about calling it

	micrel,rmii-reference-clock-select-inverted

Then no one will set it believing it will change the clock mode and
without reading the binding doc first.

The description could then read something like

	micrel,rmii-reference-clock-select-inverted: RMII Reference
		Clock Select bit is inverted

	The RMII Reference Clock Select bit is inverted so that setting
	it selects 25 MHz rather than 50 MHz clock mode. 

	Note that this is only needed for PHY variants that has this bit
	inverted and that a clock reference ("rmii-ref" below) is always
	needed to select the actual mode.

Not very nice at all.

"Inverted" only has a meaning when everybody agrees what's the normal
case. Since that not the case I really prefer talking about
"active-high" or "active-low".

Yes, but I'm reluctant to using "active-high" and "active-low" as this
is not a signal (or IO pin) we're dealing with.

It's a configuration bit, which (if set) selects 25 MHz mode. Hence I
still think something like 

	micrel,rmii_ref_clk_sel_25_mhz

or

	micrel,rmii_reference_clock_select_selects_25_mhz

is preferred. The binding documentation will still make it clear that a
clocks reference is also needed.
