+Time stamps from MII bus snooping devices
+
+This binding supports non-PHY devices that snoop the MII bus and
+provide time stamps.  In contrast to PHY time stamping drivers (which
+can simply attach their interface directly to the PHY instance), stand
+alone MII time stamping drivers use this binding to specify the
+connection between the snooping device and a given network interface.
+
+Non-PHY MII time stamping drivers typically talk to the control
+interface over another bus like I2C, SPI, UART, or via a memory mapped
+peripheral.  This controller device is associated with one or more
+time stamping channels, each of which snoops on a MII bus.
+
+The "timestamper" property lives in a phy node and links a time
+stamping channel from the controller device to that phy's MII bus.
+
+Example:
+
+	tstamper: timestamper@10000000 {
+		compatible = "ines,ptp-ctrl";
+		reg = <0x10000000 0x80>;
+	};
+
+	ethernet@20000000 {
+		mdio {
+			ethernet-phy@1 {
+				timestamper = <&tstamper 0>;
+			};
+		};
+	};
+
+	ethernet@30000000 {
+		mdio {
+			ethernet-phy@2 {
+				timestamper = <&tstamper 1>;
+			};
+		};
+	};
+
+In this example, time stamps from the MII bus attached to phy@1 will
+appear on time stamp channel 0 (zero), and those from phy@2 appear on
+channel 1.
