From: Ricardo Pardini <ricardo@pardini.net>
Add a binding for fixed/soldered Realtek PCIe Ethernet controllers
driven by the r8169 driver (RTL8125/8126/8127/8168 and variants).
The "pciVVVV,DDDD" compatibles are the Open Firmware PCI Bus Binding
spelling, auto-derived from PCI-SIG vendor/device IDs, but they still
need a binding when used in a board DT - analogous to "usbVVVV,PPPP"
compatibles documented in their own bindings (e.g. microchip,lan95xx)
so board DTs attaching properties (fixed MAC, nvmem cell, ...) to
these PCI function nodes can be validated.

The of node seems to be created by of_pci_make_dev_node(). But this
function is called for bridges only in pci_bus_add_device().
So where is the node created in your case? Did you test node creation?

This list reflects just some of the PCI id's handled by r8169.
Any specific reason for this exact selection?

Hi Heiner,
Seems to me of_pci_make_dev_node() is not at play here - that's the
DT-synthesis path. For nodes already present in DT, the of_node is bound
earlier, during pci_setup_device() -> pci_set_of_node() ->
of_pci_find_child_device() via the 5-cell reg.
Ref testing: yes; with this series on a NanoPC-T6 I get, for example:
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0004:41:00.0/of_node ->
/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/pcie@fe190000/pcie@0,0/ethernet@0,0 and
u-boot correctly adds local-mac-address property there which is
correctly picked up kernel-side:
=> setenv eth1addr 8e:b4:90:66:66:66
=> boot
...
# readlink -f /sys/bus/pci/devices/0004:41:00.0/of_node
/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/pcie@fe190000/pcie@0,0/ethernet@0,0

I went for "chips likely to be soldered down on an SBC", but that was
indeed speculative.
I guess I should trim to pci10ec,8125, which is all this series
describes? (further IDs can be added by the patches that introduce
boards using them)

I see, thanks. If the matching is done based on the reg property, then I just wonder
if and where the compatible string is used. Or would the logic also work with a
random compatible string?

Yes, I'd prefer this approach. Considering that RTL8168 has been supported for
about 20yrs now, your use case seems to be exotic. Otherwise I would have
such a patch much earlier.

Thanks, Heiner. It seems the compatible is not involved in the kernel
runtime matching at all (and u-boot simply patches DT via the ethernetN
alias).
I guess DT-wise, specifying compatible (although not strictly required)
makes sense since DT describes the hardware; "there's an RTL8125 at
0x410000" sounds better than "there's a PCIe device that needs a MAC
address at 0x410000", and having the binding opens up usages of
non-generic properties, although that would be future-looking.
At this stage I've to ask the devicetree folks: should I simply drop the
compatible from the DT patches (and the whole binding)? dtbs_check
passes without it, and it also avoids the checkpatch.pl
vendor-prefix-undocumented warning. There's precedent: at least on some
Apple Silicon (2022, t600x-j375) and NVIDIA (2019, tegra210-p3450-0000).
On Rockchip there's quite a few (10?) boards using the same RTL chip we
might want to describe.

The Tegra Jetson Nano has an RTL8111 described in DT for this exact use
case (without compatible) for about 7 years now -- I just couldn't find
it until now.
I'll wait for people to chime in, and later send a v4 either dropping
the binding, or trimming it to only the 8125. Sashiko seems to have nice
suggestions [1] on the YAML too, in case we decide to keep the binding.

r8169 but no r8169 devices at all. This must match the device name, so
most likely:
realtek,rtl8168.yaml

The FriendlyElec NanoPC-T6 carries two on-board Realtek RTL8125 NICs
behind pcie2x1l0 and pcie2x1l2.
Describe the fixed function nodes and attach ethernet0/ethernet1
aliases, so that U-Boot's fdt_fixup_ethernet() can inject mac-address
properties from its ethaddr/eth1addr env. The on-NIC EEPROMs on this
board are not pre-programmed with a unique MAC, so this gives a
stable MAC across boots that both U-Boot and the kernel agree on.

The Radxa ROCK 5B / 5B+ / 5T all carry on-board Realtek RTL8125 NICs.
Describe the fixed function nodes and attach ethernet0/ethernet1
aliases, so that U-Boot's fdt_fixup_ethernet() can inject mac-address
properties from its ethaddr/eth1addr env, for stable MACs across
boots that both U-Boot and the kernel agree on.
The RTL8125 on pcie2x1l2 is shared by all three variants. The ROCK 5T
additionally describes pcie2x1l1 with its second RTL8125.
