Andrew Lunn e4bf797ac1 DT: phy.txt: Clarify expected compatible values
PHY devices may only list compatibility with clause 22, 45, and if
they need to be more specific, their PHY identifier values. No other
compatible strings are allowed.  Make this clear in the documentation,
and remove examples where make/model compatible strings are listed.

PHY nodes
Required properties:
- interrupts : <a b> where a is the interrupt number and b is a
field that represents an encoding of the sense and level
information for the interrupt. This should be encoded based on
the information in section 2) depending on the type of interrupt
controller you have.
- interrupt-parent : the phandle for the interrupt controller that
services interrupts for this device.
- reg : The ID number for the phy, usually a small integer
Optional Properties:
- compatible: Compatible list, may contain
"ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22" or "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c45" for
PHYs that implement IEEE802.3 clause 22 or IEEE802.3 clause 45
specifications. If neither of these are specified, the default is to
assume clause 22.
If the phy's identifier is known then the list may contain an entry
of the form: "ethernet-phy-idAAAA.BBBB" where
AAAA - The value of the 16 bit Phy Identifier 1 register as
4 hex digits. This is the chip vendor OUI bits 3:18
BBBB - The value of the 16 bit Phy Identifier 2 register as
4 hex digits. This is the chip vendor OUI bits 19:24,
followed by 10 bits of a vendor specific ID.
The compatible list should not contain other values than those
listed here.
- max-speed: Maximum PHY supported speed (10, 100, 1000...)
- broken-turn-around: If set, indicates the PHY device does not correctly
release the turn around line low at the end of a MDIO transaction.
Example:
ethernet-phy@0 {
compatible = "ethernet-phy-id0141.0e90", "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22";
interrupt-parent = <40000>;
interrupts = <35 1>;
reg = <0>;
};
