🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct phy * of_phy_simple_xlate (struct device *dev , const struct of_phandle_args *args );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • dev — the PHY provider device (not used here, lowkey just vibing)
  • args — of_phandle_args (that's it, that's the whole description, no cap)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so this one is intended to be used by a phy provider for the common case where #phy-cells is 0. ✨

For other cases where #phy-cells is greater than 0, the phy provider should provide a custom of_xlate function that reads the args and returns the appropriate phy. Periodt. 💅
