- 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:
- +-----+---------------+
- | CPU |
- +-+-+-+---+-+-+-+-+-+-+
- | | | | | | | |
- debug service
- port port
- (0,1) (2-7)
- 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.
- +-----+---------------+

- external port
- 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:
- +-----+---------------+
- | CPU |
- +-+-+-+---+-+-+-+-+-+-+
- | | | | | | | |
- debug debug service
- port port port
- (0) (0) (0-5)
- 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.

- external port
- - local-mac-address: mac addr of the ethernet interface
- Example:
- ethernet@0{
- compatible = "hisilicon,hns-nic-v1";
- ae-handle = <&dsaf0>;
- port-idx-in-ae = <0>;
- local-mac-address = [a2 14 e4 4b 56 76];
- };
