Re: [PATCH v5 1/7] dt-bindings: net: add Realtek RTL8125 PCIe Ethernet

Add a binding for fixed/soldered Realtek RTL8125 PCIe Ethernet
controller. As a PCIe device, its "pci10ec,8125" compatible is the
Open Firmware spelling auto-derived from its PCI-SIG vendor/device IDs
and is already covered by the generic dtschema pci-device.yaml. The
compatible itself therefore needs no binding to be valid.

A dedicated binding is needed because board DTs describe these
soldered function nodes in order to attach ethernet-controller
properties to them: a placeholder local-mac-address that the bootloader
fills in today, and potentially nvmem-cells, phy-handle, etc. in the
future. This binding references ethernet-controller.yaml so those
properties are validated on the RTL8125 PCI function nodes.

this needs to go through the network tree I think and their processes
are heavily automated, so this should be sent separately.
