This is used for components that can have configurable fifo sizes. +- managed: string, specifies the PHY management type. Supported values are: + "auto", "in-band-status". "auto" is the default, it usess MDIO for + management if fixed-link is not specified. Child nodes of the Ethernet controller are typically the individual PHY devices connected via the MDIO bus (sometimes the MDIO bus controller is separate).
