Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/4] dt-bindings: net: dsa: add NXP i.MX RT1180 NETC switch
Date: Sat,  9 May 2026 18:06:29 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260509090632.2959553-2-minghuan.lian@nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260509090632.2959553-1-minghuan.lian@nxp.com>

Document the Devicetree binding for the TSN-capable NETC Ethernet switch
integrated in NXP i.MX RT1180.

The i.MX RT1180 is an MCU and does not run Linux. In heterogeneous
multi-SoC systems, the RT1180 runs firmware that manages the NETC
switch, while the host SoC runs Linux and exposes the switch ports
through the DSA framework using a dedicated CPU (conduit) port
connected to a host Ethernet controller.

The control plane is accessed through a management link to the
companion MCU. Current systems use SPI, but future integrations may
use a different transport (e.g. in-band management over an Ethernet
port). Therefore this binding defines a generic compatible string for
the NETC switch and an optional SPI-specific compatible string for
SPI-attached deployments.

+description: |
+  The NXP i.MX RT1180 integrates a TSN-capable NETC Ethernet switch.
+
+  The i.MX RT1180 is an MCU and does not run Linux. In heterogeneous multi-SoC
+  systems, the RT1180 runs firmware that manages the switch, while the host SoC
+  runs Linux and exposes the switch ports using the DSA framework, with a
+  dedicated CPU (conduit) port connected to a host Ethernet controller.
+
+  The switch control plane is accessed through a management link to the
+  companion MCU. Current systems may use SPI, but other transports may be used
+  in the future (for example, in-band management over an Ethernet port).
