realtek: phy: backport pair/polarity order support

Backport four patches merged in netdev-next/main to add pair order [1,2]
and pair polarity [3,4] configuration support for the RTL8224. The
configuration is required when the bootloader doesn't set it up.

Subject: [PATCH 1/4] dt-bindings: net: ethernet-phy: add property
enet-phy-pair-order
Add property enet-phy-pair-order to the device tree bindings to define
the pair order of the PHY. To simplify PCB design some manufacturers
allow to wire the pairs in a reverse order, and change the order in
software.
The property can be set to 0 to force the normal pair order (ABCD), or 1
to force the reverse pair order (DCBA).

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] net: phy: realtek: add RTL8224 pair order support
The RTL8224 has a register to configure a pair swap (from ABCD order to
DCBA) providing PCB designers more flexbility when wiring the chip. The
swap parameter has to be set correctly for each of the 4 ports before
the chip can detect a link.
After a reset, this register is (unfortunately) left in a random state,
thus it has to be initialized. On most of the devices the bootloader
does it once for all and we can rely on the value set, on some other it
is not and the kernel has to do it.
The MDI pair swap can be set in the device tree using the property
enet-phy-pair-order. The property is set to 0 to keep the default order
(ABCD), or 1 to reverse the pairs (DCBA).

Subject: [PATCH 3/4] dt-bindings: net: ethernet-phy: add property
enet-phy-pair-polarity
Add the property enet-phy-pair-polarity to describe the polarity of the
PHY pairs. To ease PCB designs some manufacturers allow to wire the
pairs with a reverse polarity and provide a way to configure it.
The property 'enet-phy-pair-polarity' sets the polarity of each pair.
Bit 0 to 3 configure the polarity or pairs A to D, if set to 1 the
polarity is reversed for this pair.

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] net: phy: realtek: add RTL8224 polarity support
The RTL8224 has a register to configure the polarity of every pair of
each port. It provides device designers more flexbility when wiring the
chip.
Unfortunately, the register is left in an unknown state after a reset.
Thus on devices where the bootloader don't initialize it, the driver has
to do it to detect and use a link.
The MDI polarity swap can be set in the device tree using the property
enet-phy-pair-polarity. The u32 value is a bitfield where bit[0..3]
control the polarity of pairs A..D.
