Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 2/8] net: Update documentation for *_get_phy_mode() functions

From: Marek Behún <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2021 17:40:21 +0100

Now that the `phy-mode` DT property can be an array of strings instead
of just one string, update the documentation for of_get_phy_mode(),
fwnode_get_phy_mode() and device_get_phy_mode() saying that if multiple
strings are present, the first one is returned.

Conventionally the property was used to represent the mode we want the
PHY to operate in, but we extended this to mean the list of all
supported modes by that PHY on that particular board.
