The functionality/support for 5G and 10G PHYs was extracted from the realtek-phy driver and ported to the upstream Linux realtek PHY driver. These PHY chips need a sequence of register writes (and similar operations) for initialization. These sequences are provided as firmware files which are interpreted/applied by a new register patch engine. By switching to the upstream driver, it should be possible to get rid of a large chunk of (from OpenWrt perspective) unmaintained code from Realtek. The actual Linux phy-core infrastructure from Linux can be mostly used and only the Realtek specific quirks need to be handled. The files which need to be provided are depending on the PHY: * rtl8261n.bin (package "rtl8261n-firmware" or "rtl8261n-lp-firmware") - RTL8251L 5Gbps PHY - RTL8261BE 10Gbps PHY - RTL8261N 10Gbps PHY * rtl8264b.bin (package "rtl8264b-firmware") - RTL8254B 5Gbps PHY - RTL8264 10Gbps PHY - RTL8264B 10Gbps PHY Files which are affected by this change (DEVICE_PACKAGES dependencies, hwmon paths, default kernel configurations, refresh of patches, ...) are updated at the same times.
