dt-bindings: net: ethernet-phy: Add timing-role role property for ethernet PHYs
This patch introduces a new `timing-role` property in the device tree bindings for configuring the master/slave role of PHYs. This is essential for scenarios where hardware strap pins are unavailable or incorrectly configured. The `timing-role` property supports the following values: - `forced-master`: Forces the PHY to operate as a master (clock source). - `forced-slave`: Forces the PHY to operate as a slave (clock receiver). - `preferred-master`: Prefers the PHY to be master but allows negotiation. - `preferred-slave`: Prefers the PHY to be slave but allows negotiation. The terms "master" and "slave" are retained in this context to align with the IEEE 802.3 standards, where they are used to describe the roles of PHY devices in managing clock signals for data transmission. In particular, the terms are used in specifications for 1000Base-T and MultiGBASE-T PHYs, among others. Although there is an effort to adopt more inclusive terminology, replacing these terms could create discrepancies between the Linux kernel and the established standards, documentation, and existing hardware interfaces.
