Subject: [PATCH 2/2] dt-bindings: net: add new property st,ext-phyclk in documentation for stm32

Add property st,ext-phyclk to manage cases when PHY have no cristal/quartz
This property can be used with RMII phy without cristal 50Mhz and when we
want to select RCC clock instead of ETH_REF_CLK
Can be used also with RGMII phy with no cristal and we select RCC clock
instead of ETH_CLK125
This new property replace st,eth-clk-sel and st,eth-ref-clk-sel

You miss full stops everywhere. What I don't get is why you decided to
deprecate above - no explanation why. Also no implementation and nothing
here mentions that you document existing property, but commit msg
actually suggests adding new property. If new, then where is any user of
this in following patch?


Best regards,
Krzysztof

That is obvious from the diff. What is not obvious is why we need a new
property and what is the problem with the existing ones.
