In contrast to PHY time stamping drivers (which +can simply attach their interface directly to the PHY instance), stand +alone MII time stamping drivers use this binding to specify the +connection between the snooping device and a given network interface. + +Non-PHY MII time stamping drivers typically talk to the control +interface over another bus like I2C, SPI, UART, or via a memory mapped +peripheral. This controller device is associated with one or more +time stamping channels, each of which snoops on a MII bus. + +The "timestamper" property lives in a phy node and links a time +stamping channel from the controller device to that phy's MII bus. + +Example: + + tstamper: timestamper@10000000 { + compatible = "ines,ptp-ctrl"; + reg = <0x10000000 0x80>; + }; + + ethernet@20000000 { + mdio { + ethernet-phy@1 { + timestamper = <&tstamper 0>; + }; + }; + }; + + ethernet@30000000 { + mdio { + ethernet-phy@2 { + timestamper = <&tstamper 1>; + }; + }; + }; + +In this example, time stamps from the MII bus attached to phy@1 will +appear on time stamp channel 0 (zero), and those from phy@2 appear on +channel 1. |
