[PATCH net-next v5 4/4] net: pse-pd: realtek-pse-mcu: add UART transport

From: Jonas Jelonek

Date: Mon Jul 06 2026 - 07:25:47 EST


Add the serdev (UART) transport for the Realtek/Broadcom PSE MCU core. It
registers the MCU as a serdev device and provides the send/recv callbacks
the core uses to exchange the 12-byte frames, receiving asynchronously via
the serdev receive_buf callback.

The baud rate defaults to 19200 and can be overridden per board with the
"current-speed" property.
