Add the serdev (UART) transport for the Realtek PSE MCU core. It registers
the MCU as a serdev device and provides the send/recv callbacks the core
uses to exchange the 12-byte frames, receiving asynchronously via the
serdev receive_buf callback.

The baud rate defaults to 19200 and can be overridden per board with the
"current-speed" property.

Add the I2C/SMBus transport for the Realtek PSE MCU core. It registers
the MCU on an I2C bus and provides the send/recv callbacks the core
uses to exchange the 12-byte frames.

The MCU firmware expects one of two framings on the I2C bus, and which one
is part of the compatible: '-smbus' (reads carry a leading command byte
and a repeated start) or raw '-i2c' (bare block writes and reads). The
match data flags the raw-I2C case; SMBus is the default because that's
what the majority of devices uses.

<content type='text'>
A range of managed Realtek-based PoE switches use a small microcontroller
on the PCB to front the actual PSE silicon. The host CPU talks to that
MCU over I2C/SMBus or UART using a fixed 12-byte request/response
protocol with a trailing checksum; the PSE chips are managed by the MCU
and are not accessed directly. Two generations of the protocol exist -
both Realtek's - diverging in opcode numbering and a few response
layouts; the driver handles this with a per-dialect opcode table and
parser hooks for the responses that differ, selected by the compatible.
The specific PSE chip behind the MCU is detected at runtime and only
influences per-chip constants (power scaling and the per-port cap).

This core module implements the protocol, message framing, the dialect
machinery and the pse_controller_ops glue, and exports a registration
helper for transport modules. The I2C and UART transports that drive it
follow in the next patches; the core (PSE_REALTEK_MCU) is selected
automatically by those transports and is not user-selectable on its own.

The realtek-pse-mcu-* files and PSE_REALTEK_MCU* symbols match the
realtek,pse-mcu-* compatibles (see the binding for the naming rationale).
The two protocol generations - gen1 on older Broadcom-PSE boards, gen2 on
Realtek's own PSE silicon - are both Realtek's, handled by the same shared
core, each selecting its dialect via the compatible.

Power budgeting is left to the MCU firmware; the driver advertises
PSE_BUDGET_EVAL_STRAT_DYNAMIC accordingly.
