+PHY nodes
+
+Required properties:
+
+ - interrupts : <a b> where a is the interrupt number and b is a
+ field that represents an encoding of the sense and level
+ information for the interrupt. This should be encoded based on
+ the information in section 2) depending on the type of interrupt
+ controller you have.
+ - interrupt-parent : the phandle for the interrupt controller that
+ services interrupts for this device.
+ - reg : The ID number for the phy, usually a small integer
+
+Optional Properties:
+
+- compatible: Compatible list, may contain
+ "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22" or "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c45" for
+ PHYs that implement IEEE802.3 clause 22 or IEEE802.3 clause 45
+ specifications. If neither of these are specified, the default is to
+ assume clause 22. The compatible list may also contain other
+ elements.
+
+ If the phy's identifier is known then the list may contain an entry
+ of the form: "ethernet-phy-idAAAA.BBBB" where
+ AAAA - The value of the 16 bit Phy Identifier 1 register as
+ 4 hex digits. This is the chip vendor OUI bits 3:18
+ BBBB - The value of the 16 bit Phy Identifier 2 register as
+ 4 hex digits. This is the chip vendor OUI bits 19:24,
+ followed by 10 bits of a vendor specific ID.
+
+- max-speed: Maximum PHY supported speed (10, 100, 1000...)
+
+Example:
+
+ethernet-phy@0 {
+ compatible = "ethernet-phy-id0141.0e90", "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22";
+ interrupt-parent = <40000>;
+ interrupts = <35 1>;
+ reg = <0>;
+};
