From 67c0170566b55b1f6ee3567c94ff679104277e2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Kamil=20Hor=C3=A1k=20-=202N?= Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2025 11:01:37 +0200 Subject: net: phy: MII-Lite PHY interface mode MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Some Broadcom PHYs are capable to operate in simplified MII mode, without TXER, RXER, CRS and COL signals as defined for the MII. The MII-Lite mode can be used on most Ethernet controllers with full MII interface by just leaving the input signals (RXER, CRS, COL) inactive. The absence of COL signal makes half-duplex link modes impossible but does not interfere with BroadR-Reach link modes on Broadcom PHYs, because they are all full-duplex only. Add MII-Lite interface mode, especially for Broadcom two-wire PHYs.
