Subject: [PATCH 2/4] dt-bindings: add binding for RTL8211E Ethernet PHY

From: Icenowy Zheng <icenowy@...c.xyz>

Some RTL8211E Ethernet PHY have an issue that needs a workaround
indicated with device tree.

Add the binding for a property that indicates this workaround.

+Realtek RTL8211E Ethernet PHY
+
+One batch of RTL8211E is slight broken, that needs some special (and
+full of magic numbers) tweaking in order to make GbE to operate properly.
+The only well-known board that used the broken batch is Pine64+.
+Configure it through an Ethernet OF device node.
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- realtek,disable-rx-delay:
+  If set, RX delay will be completely disabled (according to Realtek). This
+  will affect the performance on non-broken boards.
+  default: do not disable RX delay.
+
+Examples:
+Pine64+ with broken RTL8211E:
+&mdio {
+	ext_phy: ethernet-phy@0 {
+		reg = <0>;
+		realtek,disable-rx-delay;
+	};
+};
