I believe this is phy reset-gpio to be part of mdio child node. any idea why it added in fec1 node?

Try $ git grep phy-reset drivers/net/ , that should clarify it all. In short, FEC in U-Boot still uses legacy bindings.

True. I think it's better to add this property on -u-boot.dtsi which helps to maintain Linux bindings.

The reset GPIO is not specific to U-Boot in any way, so no. Instead, the Linux DT bindings should be updated too, but that's a separate topic.

Deprecated optional properties: To avoid these, create a phy node according to phy.txt in the same directory, and point the fec's "phy-handle" property to it. Then use the phy's reset binding, again described by phy.txt. - phy-reset-gpios : Should specify the gpio for phy reset - phy-reset-duration : Reset duration in milliseconds. Should present only if property "phy-reset-gpios" is available. Missing the property will have the duration be 1 millisecond. Numbers greater than 1000 are
Jagan refer maybe that property is deprecated

See above, U-Boot does not support the per-PHY reset bindings with FEC. However, the PHY reset GPIO binding is not U-Boot specific, so it should not be hidden in -u-boot.dtsi .

Yes, I understand. What Jagan is proposing is the following (that you can disagree) it's just move deprecated part in uboot.dtsi so we can keep align dtsi from linux without having this problem.

What should happen is that this same thing should be fixed in Linux, i.e. the missing bindings should be added there, and then once a DT sync happens, whoever does the sync should also then update the FEC driver to handle per-PHY resets. But that is out of scope of this patch.
What is for certain is that if the DT sync removes the reset GPIO from DT, ethernet will no longer work in U-Boot and it will show up during testing. If there is some extra property hidden in -u-boot.dtsi, this problem will not trigger test failure then.

What is for certain is that if the DT sync removes the reset GPIO from DT, ethernet will no longer work in U-Boot and it will show up during testing. If there is some extra property hidden in -u-boot.dtsi, this problem will not trigger test failure then.
This seems like a case where the "deprecated" property needs to be populated in the upstream dts file, even if the Linux Kernel doesn't need it strictly because we do and we might not need / want to redesign our driver to meet what Linux expects yet again.

The reset GPIO is not specific to U-Boot in any way, so no. Instead, the Linux DT bindings should be updated too, but that's a separate topic.
Deprecated optional properties: To avoid these, create a phy node according to phy.txt in the same directory, and point the fec's "phy-handle" property to it. Then use the phy's reset binding, again described by phy.txt.
- phy-reset-gpios : Should specify the gpio for phy reset
- phy-reset-duration : Reset duration in milliseconds. Should present only if property "phy-reset-gpios" is available. Missing the property will have the duration be 1 millisecond. Numbers greater than 1000 are
Jagan refer maybe that property is deprecated
See above, U-Boot does not support the per-PHY reset bindings with FEC. However, the PHY reset GPIO binding is not U-Boot specific, so it should not be hidden in -u-boot.dtsi .
Yes, I understand. What Jagan is proposing is the following (that you can disagree) it's just move deprecated part in uboot.dtsi so we can keep align dtsi from linux without having this problem.
What should happen is that this same thing should be fixed in Linux, i.e. the missing bindings should be added there, and then once a DT sync happens, whoever does the sync should also then update the FEC driver to handle per-PHY resets. But that is out of scope of this patch.

We really should fix the FEC driver, except that its way out of scope of this patch. And before someone points out that should be simple to do, there is a real unpleasant bonus with FEC and PHY reset bindings, in the ordering in which FEC generates clock for the PHY during reset, for which Linux grew a rather convoluted logic in the FEC driver and the PHY subsystem, see the LAN8710 PHY discussions in Linux which seem to pop up every now and then. So implementing the whole PHY reset handling in FEC driver, to behave just like Linux, isn't as trivial as it seems at first.

It's out of scope for this patch, yes. And given what you note here I'm not even sure it's really required / a great idea for U-Boot. I added Rob to the list here because this is another case of "Is DT ABI or Linux driver description?".
