describe RTL8125 PCIe NICs on Rockchip boards (and add DT binding)

[PATCH v3 0/3] describe RTL8125 PCIe NICs on Rockchip boards (and add DT binding)
Posted by Ricardo Pardini via B4 Relay 2 days, 17 hours ago
Several Rockchip rk35xx boards carry on-board Realtek RTL8125 2.5GbE
NICs whose PCI function nodes are not described in the DT. Describing
them allows for stable ethernetN aliases (matching the GMAC alias
convention on these boards) and lets U-Boot's fdt_fixup_ethernet()
inject mac-address properties from its ethaddr/ethNaddr env, so MACs
stay stable across boots and U-Boot and kernel MAC match.

Patch 1 adds a DT binding for Realtek r8169 family PCIe Ethernet
controllers.

Patch 2 describes the on-board RTL8125 function nodes on the
FriendElec NanoPC-T6 (and variants).

Patch 3 is the same, but for the Radxa ROCK 5B / 5B+ / 5T family
done based on lspci output provided by helpful Armbian folks.

Changes in v3:
- new patch: add a DT binding for Realtek r8169 family PCIe Ethernet
  controllers, per Sebastian Reichel's review (the "pciVVVV,DDDD" OF
  spelling still needs a binding when used in a board DT).
- new patch for Rock5 series, and include a brief rationale in each.
- retitle the series, since it now covers a few boards and a binding
  rather than just DeviceTree changes for the NanoPC-T6.
- drop the v2 "rename vcc3v3_pcie2x1l0 regulator" patch from this
  series; it will be sent separately as it is not relevant to this.
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260529-rk3588-dts-rtl-eth-describe-dt-alias-v2-0-49700248143f@pardini.net

Changes in v2:
- fix: pcie2x1l0, not pcie2x1l1; indirectly caught by Sashiko's review [1]
- while-at-it: rename regulator vcc3v3_pcie2x1l0 to l1
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260525-rk3588-dts-rtl-eth-describe-dt-alias-v1-1-a6fcda563ac7@pardini.net
