Subject: [PATCH] dt-bindings: net: don't confuse with generic PHY property
Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2017 11:09:59 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2e201cc1cff4fad372f589c83c4c438b3dccbadf.1504771799.git.baruch@tkos.co.il> (raw)
This complements commit 9a94b3a4bd (dt-binding: phy: don't confuse with
Ethernet phy properties).
The generic PHY 'phys' property sometime appears in the same node with
the Ethernet PHY 'phy' or 'phy-handle' properties. Add a warning in
ethernet.txt to reduce confusion.
