+ description: |
+ Specifies the timing role of the PHY in the network link. This property is
+ required for setups where the role must be explicitly assigned via the
+ device tree due to limitations in hardware strapping or incorrect strap
+ configurations.
+ It is applicable to Single Pair Ethernet (1000/100/10Base-T1) and other
+ PHY types, including 1000Base-T, where it controls whether the PHY should
+ be a master (clock source) or a slave (clock receiver).
+
+ - 'forced-master': The PHY is forced to operate as a master.
+ - 'forced-slave': The PHY is forced to operate as a slave.
+ - 'preferred-master': Prefer the PHY to be master but allow negotiation.
+ - 'preferred-slave': Prefer the PHY to be slave but allow negotiation.
