we need to fix the interface property of the PHY nodes in the device
trees. currently, we see things such as:
interface = <6>; //ENET_1000_GMII
in mpc836x_mds.dts, which is bad because the speed and interface type
are conjoined. I found a spec proposal based on response to a similar
matter on this list:
http://playground.sun.com/1275/proposals/Closed/Accepted/378-it.txt
So do we go with proposal #378, and add the interface type to the end of
its comma-separated list, like this:
supported-network-type = "ethernet,1000,,full,gmii";
or forget about proposal #378, and do something like:
max-speed = <d#1000>;
interface-type = "gmii";
?
