Subject: [PATCH net-next 01/10] dt-bindings: net: airoha: Add EN7581 ethernet-ports properties
Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2026 15:07:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260329-airoha-eth-multi-serdes-v1-1-00f52dc360ca@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260329-airoha-eth-multi-serdes-v1-0-00f52dc360ca@kernel.org>
EN7581 and AN7583 SoCs support connecting multiple external SerDes to GDM3
or GDM4 ports via a hw multiplexer that manages the traffic in a TDM
manner. As a result multiple net_devices can connect to the same GDM{3,4}
port and there is a theoretical "1:n" relation between GDM ports and
net_devices.
Introduce the ethernet-port property in order to model a given net_device
that is connected via the external multiplexer to the GDM{3,4} port (that
is represented by the ethernet property. Please note GDM1 or GDM2 does not
support the connection with the external multiplexer and are represented
by ethernet property.
