[PATCH net-next 1/3] dt-bindings: net: realtek,rtl82xx: Document RTL8261C/D PHYs

From: Simon Polack

Date: Mon Sep 21 2026 - 13:21:06 EST


The RTL8261C/D family reports PHY IDs 0x001cc898 (RTL8261C/D),
0x001cc899 (RTL8261CE) and 0x001cc89a (RTL8261D_VM). Add the three
corresponding compatible strings.

These parts drive four LEDs from the VEND2 LED register block, so allow
the leds node for them the way it is already allowed for the RTL8221B.

They also accept the generic tx-polarity and rx-polarity properties to
invert the host-side SerDes lanes, which is needed on boards that route
the USXGMII lanes inverted between the SoC and the PHY. Reference
phy-common-props.yaml so those properties are described, restrict them
to the compatibles that implement them, and add an example using both.
