Subject: [PATCH] dt-bindings: add an explanation for internal phy-mode
Date:   Sat, 20 Apr 2019 18:14:33 +0000

 - phy-mode: string, operation mode of the PHY interface. This is now a de-facto
   standard property; supported values are:
-  * "internal"
+  * "internal" (Internal means there is not a standard bus between the MAC and

   * "mii"
   * "gmii"
   * "sgmii"
