Subject: [PATCH v7 net-next 02/14] dt-bindings: net: move ptp-timer property to ethernet-controller.yaml
Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2025 13:06:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250829050615.1247468-3-wei.fang@nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250829050615.1247468-1-wei.fang@nxp.com>
For some Ethernet controllers, the PTP timer function is not integrated.
Instead, the PTP timer is a separate device and provides PTP Hardware
Clock (PHC) to the Ethernet controller to use, such as NXP FMan MAC,
ENETC, etc. Therefore, a property is needed to indicate this hardware
relationship between the Ethernet controller and the PTP timer.
Since this use case is also very common, it is better to add a generic
property to ethernet-controller.yaml. According to the existing binding
docs, there are two good candidates, one is the "ptp-timer" defined in
fsl,fman-dtsec.yaml, and the other is the "ptimer-handle" defined in
fsl,fman.yaml. From the perspective of the name, the former is more
straightforward, so move the "ptp-timer" from fsl,fman-dtsec.yaml to
ethernet-controller.yaml.

v4 changes:
1. Change the title
2. Remove "ptp-timer" from fsl,fman-dtsec.yaml
v3 changes:
New patch, add a generic property instead of adding a property to
fsl,enetc.yaml
