1	    4xx/Axon EMAC ethernet nodes
2	
3	    The EMAC ethernet controller in IBM and AMCC 4xx chips, and also
4	    the Axon bridge.  To operate this needs to interact with a ths
5	    special McMAL DMA controller, and sometimes an RGMII or ZMII
6	    interface.  In addition to the nodes and properties described
7	    below, the node for the OPB bus on which the EMAC sits must have a
8	    correct clock-frequency property.
9	
10	      i) The EMAC node itself
11	
12	    Required properties:
13	    - device_type       : "network"
14	
15	    - compatible        : compatible list, contains 2 entries, first is
16				  "ibm,emac-CHIP" where CHIP is the host ASIC (440gx,
17				  405gp, Axon) and second is either "ibm,emac" or
18				  "ibm,emac4".  For Axon, thus, we have: "ibm,emac-axon",
19				  "ibm,emac4"
20	    - interrupts        : <interrupt mapping for EMAC IRQ and WOL IRQ>
21	    - interrupt-parent  : optional, if needed for interrupt mapping
22	    - reg               : <registers mapping>
23	    - local-mac-address : 6 bytes, MAC address
24	    - mal-device        : phandle of the associated McMAL node
25	    - mal-tx-channel    : 1 cell, index of the tx channel on McMAL associated
26				  with this EMAC
27	    - mal-rx-channel    : 1 cell, index of the rx channel on McMAL associated
28				  with this EMAC
29	    - cell-index        : 1 cell, hardware index of the EMAC cell on a given
30				  ASIC (typically 0x0 and 0x1 for EMAC0 and EMAC1 on
31				  each Axon chip)
32	    - max-frame-size    : 1 cell, maximum frame size supported in bytes
33	    - rx-fifo-size      : 1 cell, Rx fifo size in bytes for 10 and 100 Mb/sec
34				  operations.
35				  For Axon, 2048
36	    - tx-fifo-size      : 1 cell, Tx fifo size in bytes for 10 and 100 Mb/sec
37				  operations.
38				  For Axon, 2048.
39	    - fifo-entry-size   : 1 cell, size of a fifo entry (used to calculate
40				  thresholds).
41				  For Axon, 0x00000010
42	    - mal-burst-size    : 1 cell, MAL burst size (used to calculate thresholds)
43				  in bytes.
44				  For Axon, 0x00000100 (I think ...)
45	    - phy-mode          : string, mode of operations of the PHY interface.
46				  Supported values are: "mii", "rmii", "smii", "rgmii",
47				  "tbi", "gmii", rtbi", "sgmii".
48				  For Axon on CAB, it is "rgmii"
49	    - mdio-device       : 1 cell, required iff using shared MDIO registers
50				  (440EP).  phandle of the EMAC to use to drive the
51				  MDIO lines for the PHY used by this EMAC.
52	    - zmii-device       : 1 cell, required iff connected to a ZMII.  phandle of
53				  the ZMII device node
54	    - zmii-channel      : 1 cell, required iff connected to a ZMII.  Which ZMII
55				  channel or 0xffffffff if ZMII is only used for MDIO.
56	    - rgmii-device      : 1 cell, required iff connected to an RGMII. phandle
57				  of the RGMII device node.
58				  For Axon: phandle of plb5/plb4/opb/rgmii
59	    - rgmii-channel     : 1 cell, required iff connected to an RGMII.  Which
60				  RGMII channel is used by this EMAC.
61				  Fox Axon: present, whatever value is appropriate for each
62				  EMAC, that is the content of the current (bogus) "phy-port"
63				  property.
64	
65	    Optional properties:
66	    - phy-address       : 1 cell, optional, MDIO address of the PHY. If absent,
67				  a search is performed.
68	    - phy-map           : 1 cell, optional, bitmap of addresses to probe the PHY
69				  for, used if phy-address is absent. bit 0x00000001 is
70				  MDIO address 0.
71				  For Axon it can be absent, though my current driver
72				  doesn't handle phy-address yet so for now, keep
73				  0x00ffffff in it.
74	    - rx-fifo-size-gige : 1 cell, Rx fifo size in bytes for 1000 Mb/sec
75				  operations (if absent the value is the same as
76				  rx-fifo-size).  For Axon, either absent or 2048.
77	    - tx-fifo-size-gige : 1 cell, Tx fifo size in bytes for 1000 Mb/sec
78				  operations (if absent the value is the same as
79				  tx-fifo-size). For Axon, either absent or 2048.
80	    - tah-device        : 1 cell, optional. If connected to a TAH engine for
81				  offload, phandle of the TAH device node.
82	    - tah-channel       : 1 cell, optional. If appropriate, channel used on the
83				  TAH engine.
84	
85	    Example:
86	
87		EMAC0: ethernet@40000800 {
88			device_type = "network";
89			compatible = "ibm,emac-440gp", "ibm,emac";
90			interrupt-parent = <&UIC1>;
91			interrupts = <1c 4 1d 4>;
92			reg = <40000800 70>;
93			local-mac-address = [00 04 AC E3 1B 1E];
94			mal-device = <&MAL0>;
95			mal-tx-channel = <0 1>;
96			mal-rx-channel = <0>;
97			cell-index = <0>;
98			max-frame-size = <5dc>;
99			rx-fifo-size = <1000>;
100			tx-fifo-size = <800>;
101			phy-mode = "rmii";
102			phy-map = <00000001>;
103			zmii-device = <&ZMII0>;
104			zmii-channel = <0>;
105		};
106	
107	      ii) McMAL node
108	
109	    Required properties:
110	    - device_type        : "dma-controller"
111	    - compatible         : compatible list, containing 2 entries, first is
112				   "ibm,mcmal-CHIP" where CHIP is the host ASIC (like
113				   emac) and the second is either "ibm,mcmal" or
114				   "ibm,mcmal2".
115				   For Axon, "ibm,mcmal-axon","ibm,mcmal2"
116	    - interrupts         : <interrupt mapping for the MAL interrupts sources:
117	                           5 sources: tx_eob, rx_eob, serr, txde, rxde>.
118	                           For Axon: This is _different_ from the current
119				   firmware.  We use the "delayed" interrupts for txeob
120				   and rxeob. Thus we end up with mapping those 5 MPIC
121				   interrupts, all level positive sensitive: 10, 11, 32,
122				   33, 34 (in decimal)
123	    - dcr-reg            : < DCR registers range >

130	    Required properties:
131	    - compatible         : compatible list, containing 2 entries, first is
132				   "ibm,zmii-CHIP" where CHIP is the host ASIC (like
133				   EMAC) and the second is "ibm,zmii".
134				   For Axon, there is no ZMII node.
135	    - reg                : <registers mapping>
136	
137	      iv) RGMII node
138	
139	    Required properties:
140	    - compatible         : compatible list, containing 2 entries, first is
141				   "ibm,rgmii-CHIP" where CHIP is the host ASIC (like
142				   EMAC) and the second is "ibm,rgmii".

144	    - reg                : <registers mapping>
