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 compatible names the MCU front-end, not a specific part. These boards front the PSE silicon with an MCU that presents a stable message protocol Realtek documents. The PSE chip behind it varies - Broadcom on older boards, Realtek on newer - and is detected at runtime; the arrangement appears to be a Realtek MCU-based PoE design carried across those PSE-chip generations. So the 'realtek' prefix names that front-end (Realtek's protocol and firmware), not the general-purpose MCU silicon or the PSE chip - the google,cros-ec-* model. The '-rtk'/'-brcm' suffix selects the Realtek or Broadcom dialect. A single compatible per dialect covers both the I2C/SMBus and UART attachments: the wire protocol is identical across them and the transport is expressed by the node's parent bus, so it is not encoded in the compatible. Both dialects share one protocol family and one device tree contract, so they are documented in a single binding under the one 'realtek' prefix, with the '-rtk'/'-brcm' suffix distinguishing the dialect.
