Document ethernet PHY package nodes used to describe PHY shipped in bundle of 2-5 PHY. The special node describe a container of PHY that share common properties. This is a generic schema and PHY package should create specialized version with the required additional shared properties. Example are PHY packages that have some regs only in one PHY of the package and will affect every other PHY in the package, for example related to PHY interface mode calibration or global PHY mode selection. The PHY package node MUST declare the base address used by the PHY driver for global configuration by calculating the offsets of the global PHY based on the base address of the PHY package. Each reg of the PHYs defined in the PHY package node is absolute and describe the real address of the Ethernet PHY on the bus.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
