Commit Message

Russell King (Oracle) March 12, 2025, 9:34 a.m. UTC 
Whether the MII transmit clock can be stopped is primarily a property
of the PHY (there is a capability bit that should be checked first.)
Whether the MAC is capable of stopping the transmit clock is a separate
issue, but this is already handled by the core DesignWare MAC code.

Therefore, snps,en-tx-lpi-clockgating is technically incorrect, so this
commit deprecates the property in the binding.
