Several Rockchip rk35xx boards carry on-board Realtek RTL8125 2.5GbE
NICs whose PCI function nodes are not described in the DT. Describing
them allows for stable ethernetN aliases (matching the GMAC alias
convention on these boards) and lets U-Boot's fdt_fixup_ethernet()
inject mac-address properties from its ethaddr/ethNaddr env, so MACs
stay stable across boots and U-Boot and kernel MAC match.
Patch 1 adds a DT binding for Realtek RTL8125 family PCIe Ethernet
controllers.
Patch 2 describes the on-board RTL8125 function nodes on the
FriendlyElec NanoPC-T6 (and variants).
Patch 3 describes the on-board RTL8125 function nodes on the Radxa
ROCK 5B / 5B+ / 5T family done based on lspci output provided by
helpful Armbian folks.

Changes in v4:
- binding: simplify the binding YAML ref Sashiko's and Krzysztof's
reviews
- binding: describe only the RTL8125 + rename to match ref Heiner's
review.
- dt: fix the bus-range according to Sashiko's review.
- Link to v3: https://patch.msgid.link/20260605-rk3588-dts-rtl-eth-describe-dt-alias-v3-0-8a8857b39daf@pardini.net
Changes in v3:
- new patch: add a DT binding for Realtek r8169 family PCIe Ethernet
controllers, per Sebastian Reichel's review (the "pciVVVV,DDDD" OF
spelling still needs a binding when used in a board DT).
- new patch for Rock5 series, and include a brief rationale in each.
- retitle the series, since it now covers a few boards and a binding
rather than just DeviceTree changes for the NanoPC-T6.
- drop the v2 "rename vcc3v3_pcie2x1l0 regulator" patch from this
series; it will be sent separately as it is not relevant to this.
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260529-rk3588-dts-rtl-eth-describe-dt-alias-v2-0-49700248143f@pardini.net
Changes in v2:
- fix: pcie2x1l0, not pcie2x1l1; indirectly caught by Sashiko's review [1]
- while-at-it: rename regulator vcc3v3_pcie2x1l0 to l1
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260525-rk3588-dts-rtl-eth-describe-dt-alias-v1-1-a6fcda563ac7@pardini.net
