With the switch to generic firmware loader, "firmware-name" binding
was introduced to define the firmware filename.
Provide the document and usage examples.

Several optional bindings are defined that allow these configuration points to
be driven by the PHY driver and reduce dependency on specific FW versions.
+Aquantia PHY's firmware is often provided by PHY-resident SPI flash; if absent
+or outdated, U-Boot can upload firmware over MDIO during PHY initialization.
+The driver uploads only when the PHY reports missing firmware or a fault.
+
Optional properties:
mdi-reversal: 0 or 1 indicating that reversal must be disabled/enabled.
Firmware default is used if the property is missing.
smb-addr: I2C/SMBus address to use, firmware default is used if the property
is missing.
+firmware-name: String containing the filename of the PHY firmware to load
+ (only when CONFIG_PHY_AQUANTIA_UPLOAD_FW is enabled).
Example node:
phy at 00 {
reg = <0x00>;
mdi-reversal = <1>;
smb-addr = <0x25>;
+ firmware-name = "aqr-firmware.cld";
+};
+
+Example using the generic firmware loader:
+/ {
+ chosen {
+ /* Select default firmware loader instance */
+ firmware-loader = &fs_loader0;
+ };
+
+ fs_loader0: fs-loader at 0 {
+ bootph-all;
+ compatible = "u-boot,fs-loader";
+ /* Load from MMC0, partition 1 */
+ phandlepart = <&mmc_0 1>;
+ };
+
+ mdio {
+ phy at 0 {
+ reg = <0>;
+ /* Load this file via the selected fs-loader */
+ firmware-name = "aqr-firmware.cld";
+ };
+ };
};
