The NanoPi R28S is a dual gigabit Ethernet router board based on the
Rockchip RK3528 SoC:
https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_R28S
It is closely related to the already supported NanoPi Zero2, sharing
most of its power tree and peripheral routing. Patch 3 therefore moves
the common parts into rk3528-nanopi.dtsi, and patch 4 adds the board on
top of it. The split leaves the NanoPi Zero2 dtb unchanged; I verified
this by decompiling the dtb before and after the split and comparing
them with the phandle numbering normalised.
Patch 1 fixes the NanoPi Zero2 and comes first so that it can be
backported on its own. Its RGMII PHY reset is described in the PHY
node, where the MDIO core applies it only after it has already read the
PHY ID over the bus, so a PHY that the bootloader left in reset is
never found. Describing the reset on the MDIO bus instead makes it
happen before any device on the bus is registered. The R28S wires the
same net and inherits the fix through the dtsi. Patch 5 is a coding
style cleanup across the three NanoPi RK3528 devicetrees.
The devicetree was derived from the vendor tree:
https://github.com/friendlyarm/kernel-rockchip/commit/ee640c5344b13a0a317436e2357df01af8268ce7
but with many changes to make it suitable for mainline.
Tested on a metal-case unit without the optional onboard eMMC: boots
from microSD, both Ethernet ports link up at 1000 Mbps, the HYM8563 RTC
registers, and all three LEDs are functional. The USB Type-C connector
registers as a DWC3 UDC in peripheral mode; gadget enumeration against
a USB host was not completed, because that connector is also the 5V
input and a PC port cannot power the board.
Two things I did not do, because my hardware cannot verify them:
- The AICSemi AIC8800D80 WiFi chip on sdio0 has no upstream driver, so
only the SDIO controller is described.
- The eMMC is described as HS200 rather than the vendor's HS400 with
enhanced strobe, since the board at hand has an unpopulated eMMC
footprint and the faster modes could not be verified.

Changes in v3:
- New patch 1: describe the NanoPi Zero2 RGMII PHY reset on the MDIO
bus rather than in the PHY node, so that it is applied before the PHY
ID is read. A PHY held in reset by the bootloader was otherwise never
probed, leaving the port dead. Reported by Andrey Korshunov, who
proposed the deprecated snps,reset-gpio properties on the MAC; the
bus level reset-gpios in mdio.yaml fixes the same ordering without a
deprecated property.
- New patch 5: follow the DTS coding style in the three NanoPi RK3528
devicetrees, as found by scripts/dtc/dt-check-style --mode=strict:
pinctrl-0 before pinctrl-names, and a blank line before status.
Suggested by Diederik de Haas.
- Picked up Conor Dooley's Acked-by on the binding.
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260907-r28s-upstream-v2-0-21ab570fc91c@proton.me
Changes in v2:
- Split the parts shared with the NanoPi Zero2 into a new
rk3528-nanopi.dtsi (new patch 2). The NanoPi Zero2 dtb is unchanged.
- Name the pinctrl labels after the nets in the schematic: usr_btn,
led1, led2, led_sys, pwr_wf and pcie_eth_perstb.
- Rename the button node to button-user and its label to "USER".
