In the NCSI pin table, the reference clock output pin (RMIIXRCLKO) is not
needed on the management controller side.

Add NCSI group to distinguish the pin group between RMII and NCSI.

- RMII pins:
  - RMIIXRCLKI
  - RMIIXRXD0
  - RMIIXRXD1
  - RMIIXCRSDV
  - RMIIXRXER
  - RMIIXRCLKO
  - RMIIXTXEN
  - RMIIXTXD0
  - RMIIXTXD1

- NCSI pins:
  - RMIIXRCLKI
  - RMIIXRXD0
  - RMIIXRXD1
  - RMIIXCRSDV
  - RMIIXRXER
  - RMIIXTXEN
  - RMIIXTXD0
  - RMIIXTXD1

I think listing all the pins for both groups obscures the fact that
there aren't more changes than removing RMIIXRCLKO.

Can we instead drop these lists and replace

With:

Can we also do this for RMII{1,2}RCLKO (and in the driver patch as
well)?

Overall, what I was hoping for with the comment on the earlier patch
was that you would add the discussion in the commit message to the
"description" entry in the binding YAML. Can you please do so? That way
the information is always present for people reading the binding
without them having to look at the binding's change history.

Thanks,

Andrew

The power of RMII{1,2} is 1.8v, which does not meet NCSI requirements.

Got it, I will add note into aspeed,ast2600-pinctrl.yaml.

Ah, thanks for catching that.
