[PATCH v2 phy-next 0/8] RCW override for 10G Lynx dynamic protocol reconfiguration

Previous set "New Generic PHY driver for Lynx 10G SerDes":
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-phy/20260610151952.2141019-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/ (local)
introduced the 10G Lynx SerDes driver with a reduced functionality set.
Namely, only minor protocol changes are supported (1GbE <-> 2.5GbE).
The major protocol changes need a procedure named RCW override,
explained in more detail in commits 6/8 and 7/8.

This series adds kernel and device tree binding support for RCW
override, completing the SerDes PHY driver functionality.

Two components are involved:
- drivers/soc/fsl/guts.c (binding is fsl,layerscape-dcfg.yaml) - Device
  Configuration Unit, this is API provider for the SerDes driver to
  request RCW override depending on SoC
- drivers/phy/freescale/phy-fsl-lynx-10g.c - SerDes PHY driver, this is
  API consumer

The guts driver probes on DCFG blocks from multiple Freescale SoC
generations:
- MPC85xx, BSC and QorIQ (PowerPC) are all covered by the
  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/soc/fsl/guts.txt schema
- Layerscape (Arm) is covered by
  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/soc/fsl/fsl,layerscape-dcfg.yaml

It is ultimately the same hardware block, just that (from what I can
tell) the Layerscape nodes are also compatible with syscon, and PowerPC
aren't.

RCW override has only been validated on select Layerscape SoCs, so
converting guts.txt to a PowerPC schema is out of scope for this
series - we don't even touch that (just in case it gets asked).

Using syscon to map the DCFG_DCSR register block in the Lynx SerDes
driver instead of creating this guts <-> lynx API was considered, but
because the RCW procedure is SoC-specific, it was ruled out for
polluting the SerDes driver. The guts driver is all about SoC awareness
anyway, and it offers some abstraction of all the gory details.

Resending because Sashiko didn't run on v1 (it runs on linux-phy/master
instead of linux-phy/next, and linux-next, used as fallback when
applying to linux-phy/master fails, wasn't regenerated to include the
Lynx 10G base patches at the time v1 was sent). There was a build
failure on most arches except arm64 anyway, so it's good to have that
fixed.

Changes since v1:
- add Conor's review tag on 6/8
- update email addresses of DT maintainers
- drop DT maintainers from explicit CC on patch 7/8
- keep devicetree@vger.kernel.org CCed on entire series
- include missing <linux/bitfield.h> in patch 7/8
- namespace SRDS_PRTCL values for LS1046A and LS1088A, even if they are
  the same. For LS1028A (not covered here) they are not.
- prefix SRDS_CLK_SEL_{GMII,XGMII} with LS2088A_
- reorder alphanumerically (LS1046A should come before LS1088A)

Change log also in individual patches.
