[PATCH v3 1/2] dt-bindings: net: adi,adin: document LP Termination property
Posted by Osose Itua 1 month ago
Add "adi,low-cmode-impedance" boolean property which, when present,
configures the PHY for the lowest common-mode impedance on the receive
pair for 100BASE-TX operation by clearing the B_100_ZPTM_EN_DIMRX bit.
This is suited for capacitive coupled applications and other
applications where there may be a path for high common-mode noise to
reach the PHY.

If this value is not present, the value of the bit by default is 1,
which is normal termination (zero-power termination) mode.
