This series introduces Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) support for
the Intel E825-C Ethernet controller. Unlike previous generations where
DPLL connections were implicitly assumed, the E825-C architecture relies
on the platform firmware to describe the physical connections between
the network controller and external DPLLs (such as the ZL3073x).

To accommodate this, the series extends the DPLL subsystem to support
firmware node (fwnode) associations, asynchronous discovery via notifiers,
and dynamic pin management. Additionally, a significant refactor of
the DPLL reference counting logic is included to ensure robustness and
debuggability.

DPLL Core Extensions:
* Firmware Node Support: Pins can now be registered with an associated
  struct fwnode_handle. This allows consumer drivers to lookup pins based
  on device properties (dpll-pins).
* Asynchronous Notifiers: A raw notifier chain is added to the DPLL core.
  This allows the network driver (ice driver in this series) to subscribe
  to events and react when the platform DPLL driver registers the parent
  pins, resolving probe ordering dependencies.
* Dynamic Indexing: Drivers can now request DPLL_PIN_IDX_UNSPEC to have
  the core automatically allocate a unique pin index, simplifying driver
  implementation for virtual or non-indexed pins.

Reference Counting & Debugging:
* Refactor: The reference counting logic in the core is consolidated.
  Internal list management helpers now automatically handle hold/put
  operations, removing fragile open-coded logic in the registration paths.
* Duplicate Checks: The core now strictly rejects duplicate registration
  attempts for the same pin/device context.
* Reference Tracking: A new Kconfig option DPLL_REFCNT_TRACKER is added
  (using the kernel's REF_TRACKER infrastructure). This allows developers
  to instrument and debug reference leaks by recording stack traces for
  every get/put operation.

Driver Updates:
* zl3073x: Updated to register pins with their firmware nodes and support
  the 'mux' pin type.
* ice: Implements the E825-C specific hardware configuration for SyncE
  (CGU registers). It utilizes the new notifier and fwnode APIs to
  dynamically discover and attach to the platform DPLLs.

Patch Summary:
* Patch 1-3:
  DT pin consumer schema and helper functions for finding DPLL pins via fwnode.
* Patch 4:
  Updates zl3073x to register pins with fwnode.
* Patch 5-6:
  Adds notifiers and dynamic pin index allocation to DPLL core.
* Patch 7:
  Adds 'mux' pin type support to zl3073x.
* Patch 8-9:
  Refactors DPLL core refcounting and adds duplicate registration checks.
* Patch 10-11:
  Adds REF_TRACKER infrastructure and updates existing drivers to support it.
* Patch 12:
  Implements the E825-C SyncE logic in the ice driver using the new
  infrastructure.
