This section here reads entirely like "software policy". The first bullet in your list is fine - as that is what the PHY will do itself. The second and third bullets here seem like two different ways that someone could integrate their system, and I am not objecting to either of those ways of doing things. The priority system that you mention however I don't think is suitable for a description of the hardware - the PHY itself doesn't require that an external-to-it flash device take priority over something in the filesystem, right?

I dropped in v5. Thanks for the review!

Document bindings for Marvell Aquantia PHY. The Marvell Aquantia PHY require a firmware to work correctly and there at least 3 way to load this firmware. Describe all the different way and document the binding "firmware-name" to load the PHY firmware from userspace.
