+PSE Power Interface (PSE PI) Documentation
+==========================================
+
+The Power Sourcing Equipment Power Interface (PSE PI) plays a pivotal role in
+the architecture of Power over Ethernet (PoE) systems. It is essentially a
+blueprint that outlines how one or multiple power sources are connected to the
+eight-pin modular jack, commonly known as the Ethernet RJ45 port. This
+connection scheme is crucial for enabling the delivery of power alongside data
+over Ethernet cables.
+
+Documentation and Standards
+---------------------------
+
+The IEEE 802.3 standard provides detailed documentation on the PSE PI.
+Specifically:
+
+- Section "33.2.3 PI pin assignments" covers the pin assignments for PoE
+ systems that utilize two pairs for power delivery.
+- Section "145.2.4 PSE PI" addresses the configuration for PoE systems that
+ deliver power over all four pairs of an Ethernet cable.
+
+PSE PI and Single Pair Ethernet
+-------------------------------
+
+Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) represents a different approach to Ethernet
+connectivity, utilizing just one pair of conductors for both data and power
+transmission. Unlike the configurations detailed in the PSE PI for standard
+Ethernet, which can involve multiple power sourcing arrangements across four or
+two pairs of wires, SPE operates on a simpler model due to its single-pair
+design. As a result, the complexities of choosing between alternative pin
+assignments for power delivery, as described in the PSE PI for multi-pair
+Ethernet, are not applicable to SPE.
+
+Understanding PSE PI
+--------------------
+
+The Power Sourcing Equipment Power Interface (PSE PI) is a framework defining
+how Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) delivers power to Powered Devices (PDs) over
+Ethernet cables. It details two main configurations for power delivery, known
+as Alternative A and Alternative B, which are distinguished not only by their
+method of power transmission but also by the implications for polarity and data
+transmission direction.
+
+Alternative A and B Overview
+----------------------------
+
+- **Alternative A:** Utilizes RJ45 conductors 1, 2, 3 and 6. In either case of
+ networks 10/100BaseT or 1G/2G/5G/10GBaseT, the pairs used are carrying data.
+ The power delivery's polarity in this alternative can vary based on the MDI
+ (Medium Dependent Interface) or MDI-X (Medium Dependent Interface Crossover)
+ configuration.
+
+- **Alternative B:** Utilizes RJ45 conductors 4, 5, 7 and 8. In case of
+ 10/100BaseT network the pairs used are spare pairs without data and are less
+ influenced by data transmission direction. This is not the case for
+ 1G/2G/5G/10GBaseT network. Alternative B includes two configurations with
+ different polarities, known as variant X and variant S, to accommodate
+ different network requirements and device specifications.
+
+Table 145–3—PSE Pinout Alternatives
+-----------------------------------
+
+The following table outlines the pin configurations for both Alternative A and
+Alternative B.
+

+PSE Power Interface (PSE PI) Connection Diagram
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+The diagram below illustrates the connection architecture between the RJ45
+port, the Ethernet PHY (Physical Layer), and the PSE PI (Power Sourcing
+Equipment Power Interface), demonstrating how power and data are delivered
+simultaneously through an Ethernet cable. The RJ45 port serves as the physical
+interface for these connections, with each of its eight pins connected to both
+the Ethernet PHY for data transmission and the PSE PI for power delivery.

+setup for Power over Ethernet (PoE). This implementation is tailored to provide
+power delivery through the data-carrying pairs of an Ethernet cable, suitable
+for either MDI or MDI-X configurations, albeit supporting one variation at a
+time.

+Device Tree Configuration: Describing PSE PI Configurations
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+The necessity for a separate PSE PI node in the device tree is influenced by
+the intricacy of the Power over Ethernet (PoE) system's setup. Here are
+descriptions of both simple and complex PSE PI configurations to illustrate
+this decision-making process:
+
+**Simple PSE PI Configuration:**
+In a straightforward scenario, the PSE PI setup involves a direct, one-to-one
+connection between a single PSE controller and an Ethernet port. This setup
+typically supports basic PoE functionality without the need for dynamic
+configuration or management of multiple power delivery modes. For such simple
+configurations, detailing the PSE PI within the existing PSE controller's node
+may suffice, as the system does not encompass additional complexity that
+warrants a separate node. The primary focus here is on the clear and direct
+association of power delivery to a specific Ethernet port.
+
+**Complex PSE PI Configuration:**
+Contrastingly, a complex PSE PI setup may encompass multiple PSE controllers or
+auxiliary circuits that collectively manage power delivery to one Ethernet
+port. Such configurations might support a range of PoE standards and require
+the capability to dynamically configure power delivery based on the operational
+mode (e.g., PoE2 versus PoE4) or specific requirements of connected devices. In
+these instances, a dedicated PSE PI node becomes essential for accurately
+documenting the system architecture. This node would serve to detail the
+interactions between different PSE controllers, the support for various PoE
+modes, and any additional logic required to coordinate power delivery across
+the network infrastructure.
+
+**Guidance:**
+
+For simple PSE setups, including PSE PI information in the PSE controller node
+might suffice due to the straightforward nature of these systems. However,
+complex configurations, involving multiple components or advanced PoE features,
+benefit from a dedicated PSE PI node. This method adheres to IEEE 802.3
+specifications, improving documentation clarity and ensuring accurate
+representation of the PoE system's complexity.
+
+PSE PI Node: Essential Information
+----------------------------------
+
+The PSE PI (Power Sourcing Equipment Power Interface) node in a device tree can
+include several key pieces of information critical for defining the power
+delivery capabilities and configurations of a PoE (Power over Ethernet) system.
+Below is a list of such information, along with explanations for their
+necessity and reasons why they might not be found within a PSE controller node:
+
+1. **Powered Pairs Configuration**
+
+ - *Description:* Identifies the pairs used for power delivery in the
+ Ethernet cable.
+ - *Necessity:* Essential to ensure the correct pairs are powered according
+ to the board's design.
+ - *PSE Controller Node:* Typically lacks details on physical pair usage,
+ focusing on power regulation.
+
+2. **Polarity of Powered Pairs**
+
+ - *Description:* Specifies the polarity (positive or negative) for each
+ powered pair.
+ - *Necessity:* Critical for safe and effective power transmission to PDs.
+ - *PSE Controller Node:* Polarity management may exceed the standard
+ functionalities of PSE controllers.
+
+3. **PSE Cells Association**
+
+ - *Description:* Details the association of PSE cells with Ethernet ports or
+ pairs in multi-cell configurations.
+ - *Necessity:* Allows for optimized power resource allocation in complex
+ systems.
+ - *PSE Controller Node:* Controllers may not manage cell associations
+ directly, focusing instead on power flow regulation.
+
+4. **Support for PoE Standards**
+
+ - *Description:* Lists the PoE standards and configurations supported by the
+ system.
+ - *Necessity:* Ensures system compatibility with various PDs and adherence
+ to industry standards.
+ - *PSE Controller Node:* Specific capabilities may depend on the overall PSE
+ PI design rather than the controller alone. Multiple PSE cells per PI
+ do not necessarily imply support for multiple PoE standards.
+
+5. **Protection Mechanisms**
+
+ - *Description:* Outlines additional protection mechanisms, such as
+ overcurrent protection and thermal management.
+ - *Necessity:* Provides extra safety and stability, complementing PSE
+ controller protections.
+ - *PSE Controller Node:* Some protections may be implemented via
+ board-specific hardware or algorithms external to the controller.
