[PATCH 0/2] net: phy: dp83867: Configure LED modes via device tree

[Michael Tretter <m.tretter@pengutronix.de>]

Hello,

The dp83867 has 4 LED pins, which can be multiplexed with different functions
of the phy.

This series adds a device tree binding to describe the multiplexing of the
functions to the LEDs and implements the binding for the dp83867 phy.

I found existing bindings for configuring the LED modes for other phys:

In Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/micrel.txt, the binding is not
flexible enough for the use case in the dp83867, because there is a value for
each LED configuration, which would be a lot of values for the dp83867.

In Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/mscc-phy-vsc8532.txt, there is a
separate property for each LED, which would work, but I found rather
unintuitive compared to how clock bindings etc. work.

The new binding defines two properties: one for the led names and another
property for the modes of the LEDs with defined values in the same order.
Currently, the binding is specific to the dp83867, but I guess that the
binding could be made more generic and used for other phys, too.

Let me know, what you think.

Michael
