There are two boot options for a 88X3310 PHY:

1. Device loads its firmware from a dedicated serial FLASH
2. Device waits for its firmware to be downloaded over XMDIO

1/4 adds support for the second option. The device reports which mode
it is in via a register, so we only attempt to load a firmware in this
situation. Crucially, if firmware is not available in this case, the
device is not usable _at all_, so we are forced to fail the probe
entirely.

2/4 extends the power up sequence to cover cases where the device has
been hardware strapped to start powered down, in which case all
internal units will be powered down.

3/4 adds support for the LED controller in the PHY. A special DT
attribute is added to control the polarity and drive behavior of each
LED, which we document in 4/4.

Hi, it was pointed out this series sorry for not noticing before.

For parsing it would make it easier to have the thing split.

But on DT I feel an enum like it's done here might be more clear.

Assuming the property define the LED polarity, it would make sense
to have a single one instead of a sum of boolean.

The boolean idea might be problematic in the future for device that
devisates from what we expect.

Example: A device set the LED to active-high by default and we want a
way in DT to define active-low. With the boolean idea of having
"active-high" and assume active-low if not defined we would have to put
active-high in every PHY node (to reflect the default settings)

Having a property instead permits us to support more case.

Ideally on code side we would have an enum that map the string to the
different modes and we would pass to a .led_set_polarity the enum.
(or if we really want a bitmask)


If we feel tristate is special enough we can consider leaving that
specific to marvell (something like marvell,led-tristate)

But if we notice it's more generic then we will have to keep
compatibility for both.

Think since the current idea is to support this in the LED api with set
polarity either the 2 series needs to be merged or the polarity part
needs to be detached and submitted later until we sort the generic way
to set it?
