Hisilicon Network Subsystem NIC controller
|
|
Required properties:
|
- compatible: "hisilicon,hns-nic-v1" or "hisilicon,hns-nic-v2".
|
"hisilicon,hns-nic-v1" is for hip05.
|
"hisilicon,hns-nic-v2" is for Hi1610 and Hi1612.
|
- ae-handle: accelerator engine handle for hns,
|
specifies a reference to the associating hardware driver node.
|
see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/hisilicon-hns-dsaf.txt
|
- port-id: is the index of port provided by DSAF (the accelerator). DSAF can
|
connect to 8 PHYs. Port 0 to 1 are both used for administration purpose. They
|
are called debug ports.
|
|
The remaining 6 PHYs are taken according to the mode of DSAF.
|
|
In NIC mode of DSAF, all 6 PHYs are taken as ethernet ports to the CPU. The
|
port-id can be 2 to 7. Here is the diagram:

|
|
In Switch mode of DSAF, all 6 PHYs are taken as physical ports connect to a
|
LAN Switch while the CPU side assume itself have one single NIC connect to
|
this switch. In this case, the port-id will be 2 only.

This attribute is remained for compatible purpose. It is not recommended to
|
use it in new code.
|
|
- port-idx-in-ae: is the index of port provided by AE.
|
In NIC mode of DSAF, all 6 PHYs of service DSAF are taken as ethernet ports
|
to the CPU. The port-idx-in-ae can be 0 to 5. Here is the diagram:

In Switch mode of DSAF, all 6 PHYs of service DSAF are taken as physical
|
ports connected to a LAN Switch while the CPU side assume itself have one
|
single NIC connected to this switch. In this case, the port-idx-in-ae
|
will be 0 only.

Example:

compatible = "hisilicon,hns-nic-v1";
|
ae-handle = <&dsaf0>;
|
port-idx-in-ae = <0>;
|
local-mac-address = [a2 14 e4 4b 56 76];
|
};
