Time stamps from MII bus snooping devices This binding supports non-PHY devices that snoop the MII bus and provide time stamps. 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.
