The host talks only to the MCU, over I2C/SMBus or UART, using a fixed message-based protocol; the PSE chips behind it never appear on the bus. The device is the MCU together with its Realtek firmware: the firmware and its host protocol are what the binding describes, not the general-purpose microcontroller they run on. The PSE silicon behind the MCU (Realtek or Broadcom) is reported by the MCU and detected at runtime, so it is not described here - hence the 'realtek' vendor prefix. Two protocol generations exist, both Realtek's, selected by the compatible: gen1 on older boards (fronting Broadcom PSE silicon) and gen2, the altered protocol used with Realtek's own PSE silicon. On an I2C attachment the framing the MCU firmware expects is part of the compatible as well - '-smbus' or raw '-i2c'; a UART attachment carries no framing suffix, as the transport is given by the parent serial node. Each board additionally carries a device-specific compatible that falls back to one of the protocol compatibles above. Drivers bind on the protocol compatible; the device-specific string identifies the board and reserves a place for a future per-board quirk without having to retrofit device trees already in the field.
