Annotated Snippet
Microchip LAN78xx Gigabit Ethernet controller
The LAN78XX devices are usually configured by programming their OTP or with
an external EEPROM, but some platforms (e.g. Raspberry Pi 3 B+) have neither.
The Device Tree properties, if present, override the OTP and EEPROM.
Required properties:
- compatible: Should be one of "usb424,7800", "usb424,7801" or "usb424,7850".
The MAC address will be determined using the optional properties
defined in ethernet.txt.
Optional properties of the embedded PHY:
- microchip,led-modes: a 0..4 element vector, with each element configuring
the operating mode of an LED. Omitted LEDs are turned off. Allowed values
are defined in "include/dt-bindings/net/microchip-lan78xx.h".
Example:
/* Based on the configuration for a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ */
&usb {
usb-port@1 {
compatible = "usb424,2514";
reg = <1>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
usb-port@1 {
compatible = "usb424,2514";
reg = <1>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
ethernet: ethernet@1 {
compatible = "usb424,7800";
reg = <1>;
local-mac-address = [ 00 11 22 33 44 55 ];
mdio {
#address-cells = <0x1>;
#size-cells = <0x0>;
eth_phy: ethernet-phy@1 {
reg = <1>;
microchip,led-modes = <
LAN78XX_LINK_1000_ACTIVITY
LAN78XX_LINK_10_100_ACTIVITY

Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
