Martin Blumenstingl 7630ea4bda Documentation: net: phy: improve explanation when to specify the PHY ID ... The old description basically read like "ethernet-phy-idAAAA.BBBB" can be specified when you know the actual PHY ID. However, specifying this has a side-effect: it forces Linux to bind to a certain PHY driver (the one that matches the ID given in the compatible string), ignoring the ID which is reported by the actual PHY. Whenever a device is shipped with (multiple) different PHYs during it's production lifetime then explicitly specifying "ethernet-phy-idAAAA.BBBB" could break certain revisions of that device.
