The RTL8261CE on the Gemtek W1700K (Airoha AN7581) binds, but the 10G ports don't come up: the board routes the USXGMII lanes inverted and the driver never applies tx-polarity/rx-polarity from the device tree. Patch 2 fixes that; the link then comes up at 1G and 10G. The inversion is done in the PHY because the AN7581 PCS has no known polarity control - nor does its MT7988 XFI T-PHY sibling - and Airoha's own EN8811H driver handles it the same way. Patch 3 is Chad Monroe's LED support, rebased onto the merged driver with the RTL822X_VND2 LED definitions reused and a polarity bit fix. Patch 1 adds the bindings for both. Tested on an RTL8261CE (W1700K). Polarity is applied unchanged to the RTL8261C, RTL8261D and RTL8261D_VM, which share config_init() but are untested with inverted lanes. LEDs were also tested on RTL8261C and RTL8261D boards. The LED callbacks duplicate rtl822xb_led_*(); sharing the code means touching the RTL8221B path, so that is left for a follow-up. An LLM assistant (Claude) was used for rebasing, restructuring and the changelogs. The register usage comes from existing driver sources and was verified on hardware; the code has been reviewed by me.
