[RFC PATCH 04/10] dt-bindings: net: pcs: add rockchip,rk3568-xpcs binding

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 binding describes:
- Required properties: compatible, reg, clocks, clock-names
- Optional properties: phys, phy-names, power-domains
- pcs-mii sub-nodes for each MII port (reg 0..3)

+
+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.
+
+  The block contains four MII ports (pcs-mii at 0..3) that can be
+  individually enabled and routed to one of the Ethernet GMAC controllers
+  via the pcs-handle property in the MAC device tree node.
