[PATCH net-next v11 2/6] dt-bindings: net: pcs: add rockchip,rk3568-xpcs support

Add device tree binding documentation for the Synopsys DesignWare
XPCS integrated on the Rockchip RK3568 SoC.

The XPCS is accessed over the APB3 bus and internally connected to
a Naneng Combo SerDes PHY.  It supports 1000BASE-X, SGMII, and
QSGMII modes, with four MII ports.

The MII port used by the SGMII link is derived from the MAC it is
routed to: GMAC0 uses port 0, GMAC1 uses port 1.  The port index is
not an independent board-level configuration, so the binding does
not describe the ports.  If a future SoC needs per-port configuration
that cannot be derived, pcs-handle argument cells can be added then.

The CRU reset lines (SRST_XPCS*) are intentionally not described: no
in-tree user requests them, and bring-up relies on the PD_PIPE power
domain, the SerDes PHY and the in-IP soft reset. They can be added
later as optional without breaking ABI.

+description: |
+  Rockchip RK3568 SoC integrates a Synopsys DesignWare Ethernet Physical
+  Coding Sublayer (XPCS).
+  The PCS provides an interface between the Media Access Control (MAC)
+  and the Physical Medium Attachment (PMA) sublayer through a Media
+  Independent Interface (GMII).
+
+  The XPCS is accessed over the APB3 bus and internally connected to a
+  Naneng Combo SerDes PHY.
+  It supports 1000BASE-X, SGMII and QSGMII modes.
