+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.
+ +-----+---------------+
+ | CPU |
+ +-+-+-+---+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | | service| port(2)
+ debug +------------+
+ port | switch |
+ (0,1) +-+-+-+-+-+-++
+ | | | | | |
+ 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.
+ +-----+-----+------+------+
+ | CPU |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | | service| port(0)
+ debug debug +------------+
+ port port | switch |
+ (0) (0) +-+-+-+-+-+-++
+ | | | | | |
+ 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];
+ };
