1 Marvell Orion/Discovery ethernet controller
2 =============================================
3
4 The Marvell Discovery ethernet controller can be found on Marvell Orion SoCs
5 (Kirkwood, Dove, Orion5x, and Discovery Innovation) and as part of Marvell
6 Discovery system controller chips (mv64[345]60).
7
8 The Discovery ethernet controller is described with two levels of nodes. The
9 first level describes the ethernet controller itself and the second level
10 describes up to 3 ethernet port nodes within that controller. The reason for
11 the multiple levels is that the port registers are interleaved within a single
12 set of controller registers. Each port node describes port-specific properties.
13
14 Note: The above separation is only true for Discovery system controllers.
15 For Orion SoCs we stick to the separation, although there each controller has
16 only one port associated. Multiple ports are implemented as multiple single-port
17 controllers. As Kirkwood has some issues with proper initialization after reset,
18 an extra compatible string is added for it.
