Thanks for pointing that out.
The patch2 is come from the sdk kernel of rockchip.
The sgmii-phy of RK3568 is designed on nanning combo phy.
In the sdk kernel, if we want to use sgmii mode, we need
to modify the device tree in the gmac section like this:

```
&gmac0 {
	power-domains = <&power RK3568_PD_PIPE>;
	phys = <&combphy1_usq PHY_TYPE_SGMII>;
	phy-handle = <&sgmii_phy>;
	phy-mode = "sgmii";
	rockchip,pipegrf = <&pipegrf>;
	rockchip,xpcs = <&xpcs>;
	status = "okay";
};
```

I'm not sure how to write this on the mainline kernel.
Any hint will be appreciated.
