Subject: [PATCH 4/4] dt-bindings: net: Document use of mac-address-increment
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2020 23:49:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200919214941.8038-5-ansuelsmth@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200919214941.8038-1-ansuelsmth@gmail.com>
Two new bindings are now supported by the of_net driver to increase (or
decrease) a mac-address. This can be very useful in case where the
system extract the mac-address for the device from a dedicated partition
and have a generic mac-address that needs to be incremented based on the
device number.
- mac-address-increment-byte is used to tell what byte must be
incremented (if not set the last byte is increased)
- mac-address-increment is used to tell how much to increment of the
extracted mac-address decided byte.
