This optional binding (as described in the ethernet DT bindings doc)
directs the netdev to the phydev to use. This is useful for a phy
chip that has >1 phy in it, and two netdevs are using the same phy
chip (i.e. the second mac's phy lives on the first mac's MDIO bus)
The devicetree snippet would look something like this:
ethernet@feedf00d {
...
phy-handle = <&phy0> // the first netdev is physically wired to phy0
...
phy0: phy@0 {
...
reg = <0x0> // MDIO address 0
...
}
phy1: phy@1 {
...
reg = <0x1> // MDIO address 1
...
}
...
}
ethernet@deadbeef {
...
phy-handle = <&phy1> // tells the driver to use phy1 on the
// first mac's mdio bus (it's wired thusly)
...
}
The work done to add the phy_node in the first place (dacdbb4dfc:
"net: macb: add fixed-link node support") will consume the
device_node (if found).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
