wpwrak, did you try to let lables of differential signals as from something_[P:N] to [p:n]_something ?
<cladamw>
wpwrak, the ETH_INT_N, i just didn't carefully see it, now surely changed to nETH_INT

(foo_P/N -> P/N_foo) yes, i saw that. i think the P/N is different from the FOO_N vs. nFOO for negation. the nFOO is a characteristic of the information. the _P and _N is a way how that information is translated into signals.
<wpwrak>
e.g., you could conceivably have an nINT signal that passes through a conversion to differential and then becomes nINT_P/nINT_N .. and gets converted back to nINT at the end of the differential line
<wpwrak>
so i'd keep the foo_P/foo_N notation, even if it may seem somewhat inconsistent
<wpwrak>
(of course, also the differential example isn't bullet-proof) e.g., you could have an inverter that turns nINT into INT, and everybody would agree that the two signals should be called nINT and INT, not nINT and nINT_N or such.
<wpwrak>
so it's more a question of gut feeling and common choice. at least differential signals have only a few choices, basically P/N and +/-.
<wpwrak>
with inversion, we have a lot more. which also makes it easier to pick a relatively uncommon one ;-) (as long as it works nicely)

so labels for differential signals expressed as foo_P/foo_N is more easier to understand its gut.
