During recent reviews I've been telling people that new MAC drivers
should adopt a certain DT binding format for RGMII delays in order to
avoid conflicting interpretations. Some suggestions were better received
than others, and it appears we are still far from a consensus.

Part of the problem seems to be that there are still drivers that apply
RGMII delays based on an incorrect interpretation of the device tree,
and these serve as a bad example for others.
I happen to maintain one of those drivers and I am able to test it, so I
figure that one of the ways in which I can make a change is to stop
providing a bad example.

Therefore, this series adds support for the "rx-internal-delay-ps" and
"tx-internal-delay-ps" properties inside sja1105 switch port DT nodes,
and if these are present, they will decide what RGMII delays will the
driver apply.

The in-tree device trees are also updated to follow the new format, as
well as the schema validator.

I assume it's okay to get all changes merged in through the same tree
(net-next). Although the DTS changes could be split, if needed - the
driver works with or without them. There is one more DTS which should be
changed, which is in Shawn's tree but not in net-next:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shawnguo/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-lx2160a-bluebox3.dts?h=for-next
For that, I'd have to send a separate patch.

Vladimir Oltean (6):
  ARM: dts: imx6qp-prtwd3: update RGMII delays for sja1105 switch
  ARM: dts: ls1021a-tsn: update RGMII delays for sja1105 switch
  dt-bindings: net: dsa: sja1105: fix example so all ports have a
    phy-handle of fixed-link
  dt-bindings: net: dsa: inherit the ethernet-controller DT schema
  dt-bindings: net: dsa: sja1105: add {rx,tx}-internal-delay-ps
  net: dsa: sja1105: parse {rx,tx}-internal-delay-ps properties for
    RGMII delays
