[PATCH v6 5/6] arm64: dts: rockchip: describe PCIe RTL8125 Ethernet on NanoPi R6C

From: Ricardo Pardini via B4 Relay

Date: Mon Nov 09 2026 - 07:50:58 EST


From: Ricardo Pardini <ricardo@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The FriendlyElec NanoPi R6C carries one on-board Realtek RTL8125 NIC
(the LAN port) behind pcie2x1l1.

Describe the PCI function node and attach an ethernet1 alias, so that
U-Boot's fdt_fixup_ethernet() can fill in its MAC address from its
eth1addr environment.

ethernet0 stays mapped to the on-SoC gmac1 (the WAN port). The node
goes in this .dts rather than the shared rk3588s-nanopi-r6.dtsi, since
on the R6C the dtsi's second RTL8125-capable lane is empty compared to
the R6S.
