phy: rockchip: naneng-combphy: add SGMII MAC selection for RK3568

This adds a "rockchip,sgmii-mac-sel" DT property so the RK3568 SGMII
interface can be routed to GMAC0 or GMAC1 via the PIPE_GRF_XPCS_CON0
pipe_sgmii_mac_sel bit, defaulting to GMAC1 to match the hardware reset
value.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug for any schema-checked device tree, but would it be worth
reacting to the return value here?

The binding restricts the property to two values and to one compatible:

rockchip,sgmii-mac-sel:
$ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
enum: [0, 1]
default: 1

...
rockchip,sgmii-mac-sel: true
else:
properties:
rockchip,sgmii-mac-sel: false

In rockchip_combphy_parse_dt() the result of device_property_read_u32() is
dropped, so a malformed property (for example a zero-length or wrong-sized
cell, which returns -ENODATA/-EOVERFLOW and leaves the output untouched)
ends up indistinguishable from an explicit request for GMAC1.

The read also happens for every compatible, including rk3528/rk3562/rk3576/
rk3588 where the binding declares the property invalid; there the value is
parsed and then never used, since only rk3568_combphy_cfg() consumes it.

[Severity: Low]
Should out-of-range values be rejected rather than folded into GMAC1?

The "priv->sgmii_mac_sel > 0" test collapses the u32 to a boolean, so a
device tree with rockchip,sgmii-mac-sel = <2> (or 0xffffffff) that was never
run through dtbs_check gets the GMAC1 routing and rk3568_combphy_cfg() still
returns success, with nothing logged.

A range check in rockchip_combphy_parse_dt() returning -EINVAL, or at least
a dev_warn(), would make such a device tree visible instead of silently
selecting the default route.
