Could you add the following RTL9300 variants

- realtek,rtl9301-serdes
- realtek,rtl9302c-serdes - realtek,rtl9303-serdes

They all have subtly different serdes capabilities do it wouldn't be 
right to try and use one of the other compatibles.

FYI some of my RTL9300 changes are now in linux-next. In particular 
5ec37be43fe7 ("mips: dts: realtek: Add syscon-reboot node") and 
c25e73d45d53 ("dt-bindings: mfd: Add Realtek RTL9300 switch 
peripherals"). I don't think it'd change this binding but eventually I'd 
like to add these serdes as children of the realtek,rtl9302c-switch.
