Hix5hd2 phy diver only support sata phy, in fact, current soc only support synposis phy, since some internal physical link. And hix5hd2 ethernet phy is already in hix5hd2_gmac.c. No pcie support on hix5hd2 platfrom.

Sorry if I my question was unclear, I did not mean the implementation of this phy in hix5hd2, but the Synopsys phy itself. I was mainly asking because of the "compatible" string, which should otherwise not include "sata" but be more generic. Since you mention that this is a synopsys part, it may however be good to also define a compatible string for the generic device, to allow other SoCs to share this driver, and to make it easier for people to find out that we already have one so they don't have to write another driver for the same hardware. Can you find out what the Synopsys/Designware product designation for this PHY is? It would be good to rename the driver and binding if possible. I would still recommend leaving the "hisilicon,hix5hd2-sata-phy" string and the "hisilicon,peripheral-syscon" property in place, since that indicates a minor variation of the generic part.

"hisilicon,peripheral-syscon" is privide power supply, etc. Do you mean change the compatible to "hisilicon,dwc-sata-phy" or multiple compatible?

Multiple compatible strings. "hisilicon,dwc-sata-phy" would be too generic anyway, it should include the name of the chip that first implements this, or the exact version of the IP block, preferably both. Ideally if you can find out the version that hisilicon uses, it could look something like compatible = "hisilicon,hi15hd2-sata-phy", "snps,dwc-sata-phy-2.3a", ""snps,dwc-sata-phy"; Note also the specific version of the hisilicon chip: you must not use wildcards in compatible strings but should always use a real product number. ("1" instead of "x"). If multiple chips are mutually compatible, they can all use the number of the first one here.

Instead, the phy interface is just some pin / analog interface. The register is in fact hix5hd2 register, controls all the analog output, including reset, power, speed, para tunning. Even the same phy is used in other soc, they can not share this driver, since the connection must be different, as well as internal soc register layout. Only if the same controller & phy are reused in other hisilicon soc, this driver can be shared. Since what we control is hix5hd2 controller itself, so it may not suitable to put snps here. And about hix5hd2 name: x is not wildcard. Currently hix5hd2 is series of hi3716c v200, hi3719c v100, hi3718c v100. They are same soc, except minus pin assembles different. However, not all hi37x is in this series, for example hi3716c v100 is a different soc. In the future hi3719m, hi3718m may also plan to add to hix5hd2 series. The difference will be different cpu core number, different gpu core number. Also use different ethernet controller. So we may still keep "hisilicon,hix5hd2-sata-phy" unchanged. What do you think?
