Subject: [PATCH v4 1/5] dt-bindings: net: Add network-class schema for mac-address properties
Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2025 08:42:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250319-dt-bindings-network-class-v4-1-2329336802b4@ixit.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250319-dt-bindings-network-class-v4-0-2329336802b4@ixit.cz>
From: Janne Grunau <j@jannau.net>
The ethernet-controller schema specifies "mac-address" and
"local-mac-address" but other network devices such as wireless network
adapters use mac addresses as well.
The Devicetree Specification, Release v0.3 specifies in section 4.3.1
a generic "Network Class Binding" with "address-bits", "mac-address",
"local-mac-address" and "max-frame-size". This schema specifies the
"address-bits" property and moves the remaining properties over from
the ethernet-controller.yaml schema.
The "max-frame-size" property is used to describe the maximal payload
size despite its name. Keep the description from ethernet-controller
specifying this property as MTU. The contradictory description in the
Devicetree Specification is ignored.
Signed-off-by: Janne Grunau <j@jannau.net>
