The Realtek Otto switch platform consists of four different series

- RTL838x aka maple   : 28 port 1G Switches
- RTL839x aka cypress : 52 port 1G Switches
- RTL930x aka longan  : 28 port 1G/2.5G/10G Switches
- RTL931x aka mango   : 56 port 1G/2.5G/10G Switches

While the MDIO hardware polling unit and its necessity for the MAC 
layer was always well known, no detailed documentation was available.
For this series the MDIO bus was inspected with a logic analyzer for 
a better understanding how polling and kernel access interact on the 
bus. All this will be explained now in the driver comments.

This patch series adds support for the RTL83xx devices. For this

- Enhance device tree binding.
- Add special handling for limitations enforced by hardware polling.
  These already have minor side effects on RTL93xx devices but are even
  more critical for the RTL83xx hardware.
- Add RTL83xx coding.

v3 -> v4:
  - Add Acked-by for dt-bindings commit (Conor) 
  - Test phy_poll bitfield under lock to avoid race. (Sashiko) 
  - Fix whitespace in commit "configure hardware polling" (Markus)
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260705163532.2853959-1-markus.stockhausen@gmx.de/ (local)
v3 Sashiko review: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260705163532.2853959-1-markus.stockhausen%40gmx.de

v2 -> v3:
  - Enhance documentation and make clear that the driver and not the
    kernel must handle the bus mess. (Andrew)
  - Block non-Realtek PHYs on C22 buses to avoid issues with driver
    internal register 31 handling. (Andrew, Chris)
  - Drop C45 over C22 patch. This would need a bus lock/unlock design.
    For all known hardware designs it is not needed. (Andrew)
  - Drop tune_polling() and init_polling() from private structure.
    It is not used in this series and only produces review bot
    questions. (Sashiko)
  - Sort patches for better logical consistency. (Markus)
  - Add device tree patch that was missed in v2. (Markus)
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260629152336.2239826-1-markus.stockhausen@gmx.de/ (local)
v2 Sashiko review: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260629152336.2239826-1-markus.stockhausen%40gmx.de

v1 -> v2:
  - The polling activation logic was refactored. V1 simply activated
    polling after bus probing. Now a dedicated phydev/bus callback
    takes care of this and also handles deferred PHY probing. (Sashiko)
  - Run MMD prefix helper before register 31 (aka Realtek page register) 
    handling. (Jakub's bot)
  - Always run MMD postfix - even if the c22 register access fails. This 
    ensures that the MMD state machine stays consistent. Adapt the error 
    handling inside the postfix function to not overwrite the real MDIO 
    return code (Sashiko, Jakub's bot)
  - Drop unused RTL8390_PHY_CTRL_PARK_PAGE define. Like on RTL931x this 
    field must not be set and thus can be ignored. (Sashiko)
  - Change title in device tree documentation. Because of this do NOT 
    add the Reviewed-by of Krzysztof. (Jakub's bot)
  - Fix wrong use of RTL839x in commit message of patch "c45 over c22 
    mitigation". RTL930x was wrongly named RTL839x in the list of good 
    devices. (Markus)
  - Fix typos (e.g. c22 over c45) in polling documentation (Jakub's bot)
