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

This adds a "rockchip,sgmii-mac-sel" DT property to pick whether the RK3568
SGMII interface is routed to GMAC0 or GMAC1 via PIPE_GRF_XPCS_CON0 bit 1.
The value is read in rockchip_combphy_parse_dt() and programmed from the
PHY_TYPE_SGMII branch of rk3568_combphy_cfg().

Link: https://dl.radxa.com/rock3/docs/hw/datasheet/Rockchip%20RK3568%20TRM%20Part1%20V1.1-20210301.pdf (Page 229)

One question about the commit message wording:

The hardware reset value is 1 (GMAC1). If the property is set to 0,
the driver routes SGMII to GMAC0; if set to 1 (or omitted), it
remains at GMAC1.

Does "or omitted ... it remains at GMAC1" match the code? The write in
rk3568_combphy_cfg() is unconditional, so in the omitted case the driver
does not leave the bit alone, it actively programs it to 1. See the
inline comment below.

[Severity: Low]
Since device_property_read_u32() leaves the output untouched on failure,
rockchip_combphy_parse_dt() ends up with priv->sgmii_mac_sel == 1 both when
the property says 1 and when the property is absent. Is there a way for the
driver to express "leave the bit as firmware left it"?

Before this patch the kernel never touched PIPE_GRF_XPCS_CON0 bit 1, so a
board whose bootloader routed SGMII to GMAC0 kept that routing. With this
change, a DT that instantiates the combphy as PHY_TYPE_SGMII but does not
carry the new property has the bit re-programmed to GMAC1 on every
phy_init(). Can that break such a board's SGMII link?

[Severity: Low]
This write always happens, including in the "property omitted" case, and
rockchip_combphy_param_write() sets the write-enable mask along with the
value:

tmp = en ? reg->enable : reg->disable;
mask = GENMASK(reg->bitend, reg->bitstart);
val = (tmp << reg->bitstart) | (mask << BIT_WRITEABLE_SHIFT);

return regmap_write(base, reg->offset, val);

so with priv->sgmii_mac_sel defaulting to 1 the register gets
(0x1 << 1) | (GENMASK(1, 1) << 16), i.e. GMAC1 is forced. Would it be
better to only issue this write when the property is actually present?

A second question: bit 1 of PIPE_GRF_XPCS_CON0 is a single SoC-wide mux,
while the property sits on a per-PHY node. If two combphy instances that
share the same rockchip,pipe-grf syscon are both brought up as
PHY_TYPE_SGMII with different property values, the last phy_init() wins and
nothing is reported. Should conflicting values be rejected or at least
warned about?

For what it is worth, the only in-tree SGMII consumer at the end of this
series, rk3568-photonicat.dts, sets rockchip,sgmii-mac-sel = <0>
explicitly, so no upstream DT changes behaviour today; the concern is about
out-of-tree or ported device trees and about the commit message wording.
