Sorry for giving bad advice here on IRC... my wrong.

What is common for this family is not the name rtl8366
(there is for example rtl8369 in this family, we just haven't
added it yet) but the common technical item is SMI.

So I would suggest something like:

obj-$(CONFIG_NET_DSA_REALTEK_SMI) += realtek-smi.o
realtek-smi-objs := realtek-smi-core.o rtl8366.o rtl8366rb.o

I.e. rename the realtel-smi.c to realtek-smi-core.c instead
and go with that.

With that change:
