+* TBI Internal MDIO bus
+
+As of this writing, every tsec is associated with an internal TBI PHY.
+This PHY is accessed through the local MDIO bus. These buses are defined
+similarly to the mdio buses. The TBI PHYs underneath them are similar to
+normal PHYs, but the reg property is considered instructive, rather than
+descriptive. The reg property should be chosen so it doesn't interfere
+with other PHYs on the bus. The TBI PHYs are referred to by a "tbi-handle"
+property under the tsec node, which has a similar meaning of "phy-handle".
+
+Example:
+ ethernet@24000 {
+ phy-handle = <&tbi1>;
+ };
+
+ mdio@24520 {
+ tbi1: tbi-phy@1f {
+ reg = <0x1f>;
+ };
+ };
