Hi, apologies in advance if I'm going against protocol, but I'm still really
new at the techniques for Linux patch development.

As you may recall, I've been working on a similar patch for the nearly
identical SeeedStudio LinkStar H68K (v1). I found this recent work from
Chukun earlier today; my work, in part, relied on an offshoot of Chukun's
work from circa 2022 and other inspirations from other rk3568 boards. 
(See
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-devicetree/20250723135008.1077970-1-amadeus@jmu.edu.cn/
for example.)

Chukun's work from 18 August 2025 is better and more complete than where my
code currently is, with one exception: the gmac0/1 phy-modes.

As I worked on my dts, I discovered that the 1Gb ethernet ports, using an
RTL8211, don't support rgmii-id mode; only rgmii.
(https://www.realtek.com/Product/Index?id=3976&cate_id=786). 

Changing this makes a huge difference in the ethernet throughput speed. With
rgmii-id mode specified, throughput is about 6.5 Mbs. Changing this to rgmii
mode increases throughput to about 960 Mbs. 

I tested this on Chukun's code by making that change, and essentially
backporting to my OpenWRT testing profile, using kernel 6.12 and U-Boot 25.04
(also backporting the Hinlink dts to U-Boot).

I saw this over 100x speed difference both with my tree and Chukun's. 

I'll make a note of this in Chukun's patch email for the dts shortly.

I'd like to help support further development of the HinLink/Linkstar patches,
and am happy to base whatever assistance I can provide off Chukun's work. 

Please advise on how I can best contribute.

Regards,

Erik
