[PATCH net-next v9 04/11] 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 four MII ports are described as ethernet-pcs-mii at N child nodes,
consumed by the Rockchip XPCS glue driver later in this series.

phys and phy-names are required because dtbs_check only validates
required properties for enabled nodes. The SerDes link is a board-level
design choice (combphy1 on some boards, combphy2 on others), so these
properties must be provided by the board device tree, not the SoC dtsi.

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.
+
+  The block contains four MII ports 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.
