flow control thresholds.
- tx-fifo-depth: the size of the controller's transmit fifo in bytes. This
is used for components that can have configurable fifo sizes.
+- managed: string, specifies the PHY management type. Supported values are:
+ "auto", "in-band-status". "auto" is the default, it usess MDIO for
+ management if fixed-link is not specified.
Child nodes of the Ethernet controller are typically the individual PHY devices
connected via the MDIO bus (sometimes the MDIO bus controller is separate).
They are described in the phy.txt file in this same directory.
+For non-MDIO PHY management see fixed-link.txt.
