net: pcs: xpcs: add Rockchip RK3568 platform glue driver

This commit introduces a generic platform glue driver for the Synopsys
DesignWare XPCS on Rockchip RK3568 SoCs. It translates standard MDIO
operations into APB3 memory-mapped register accesses by creating a
virtual MDIO bus.

[Severity: High]
Can this result in a use-after-free of the supplier devres data?

If the XPCS driver unbinds while a second MAC consumer probes, the newly
created device link will be in the DL_STATE_SUPPLIER_UNBIND state. Because
of this state, device_links_unbind_consumers() ignores it and does not wait.

Since the device_lock() is dropped before calling platform_get_drvdata(),
could the unbind finish and free the pxpcs devres allocation before we
dereference pxpcs->bus below?

CPU1 (Supplier Unbinding)             CPU2 (Consumer Probing)
                                      device_link_add()
                                      device_lock()
                                      device_is_bound() returns true
                                      device_unlock()
unbind completes
devres frees pxpcs
                                      pxpcs = platform_get_drvdata(pdev);
                                      xpcs_create_mdiodev(pxpcs->bus, ...)

> +		put_device(&pdev->dev);
> +		return ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER);
