The PHY > is on the SOM? The carrier just has magnetics and the RJ45? Yes, the Ethernet PHY (MXL86110) is physically mounted on the VAR-SOM. All RGMII signals, MDIO and the LED outputs are routed to the SOM board-to-board connector. The carrier board only provides the magnetics and the RJ45 connector. > > > Two LEDs are defined to match the VAR-SOM carrier design: > > * LED@0: Yellow, netdev trigger. > > * LED@1: Green, netdev trigger. > > Where are the LEDs?

They are exposed on the SOM connector and are typically routed straight to the RJ45 integrated LEDs on the carrier. For this reason, the LED configuration belongs in the SOM .dtsi rather than the carrier .dts. That said, you are right that describing them as "Yellow" and "Green" ties the description to a specific carrier implementation. I will drop the `color` property and keep only the LED function and trigger so that carrier designs can reflect the actual LED implementation if needed. Does that approach sound acceptable? As always, thank you for your review. Best regards, Stefano
