+	Some PHYs, such as the KSZ8041FTL variant, support fiber mode, enabled
+	by the FXEN boot strapping pin. It can't be determined from the PHY
+	registers whether the PHY is in fiber mode, so this boolean device tree
+	property can be used to describe it.

+	In fiber mode, auto-negotiation is disabled and the PHY can only work in
+	100base-fx (full and half duplex) modes.
