The internal Gigabit PHY on Broadcom STB chips has a digital clock which

Because the PHY driver can be probed with the clocks turned off we need
to apply the dummy BMSR workaround during the driver probe function to
ensure subsequent MDIO read or write towards the PHY will succeed.
Hi Florian
Is it worth mentioning this in the DT binding? It is all pretty much
standard lego pieces, but it has taken you a while to assemble them in
the correct way. So giving hits to others who might want to uses these
STB chips could be nice.
In some respect this does not really belong in the DT binding because we
are describing how Linux will be matching a given compatible string with
its driver, but it is certainly worth mentioning somewhere, like in the
PHY document.
Are you fine with the changes though?
