net: stmmac: qcom-ethqos: add support for sa8255p

Extend the driver to support a new model - sa8255p. Unlike the
previously supported variants, this one's power management is done in
the firmware using SCMI. This is modeled in linux using power domains so
add support for them.

Does this leak the PM runtime reference if dev_pm_opp_set_level() fails?

qcom_ethqos_pd_serdes_powerup() calls qcom_ethqos_domain_on() which
acquires a PM runtime reference via pm_runtime_resume_and_get():

qcom_ethqos_pd_serdes_powerup()
  qcom_ethqos_domain_on()
    pm_runtime_resume_and_get(dev)

If the subsequent dev_pm_opp_set_level() fails, the function returns the
error without calling qcom_ethqos_domain_off() to release the reference.

The caller stmmac_legacy_serdes_power_up() in stmmac_main.c does not set
legacy_serdes_is_powered=true on error, so stmmac_legacy_serdes_power_down()
in the cleanup path skips the powerdown call.

In the existing non-PD code path, qcom_ethqos_serdes_powerup() correctly
handles this case by calling phy_exit() when phy_power_on() fails:

drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/dwmac-qcom-ethqos.c:qcom_ethqos_serdes_powerup() {
	ret = phy_init(ethqos->pm.serdes_phy);
	if (ret)
		return ret;

	ret = phy_power_on(ethqos->pm.serdes_phy);
	if (ret) {
		phy_exit(ethqos->pm.serdes_phy);
		return ret;
	}
	...
}

Should qcom_ethqos_pd_serdes_powerup() call qcom_ethqos_domain_off()
before returning the error from dev_pm_opp_set_level()?
