Thanks Rob, now that the code side is merged, I'm back to docs.

Don't need generic descriptions. Just 'true' here is fine.

Do you really mean quoted true, like in "description: 'true' "?
Without quotes it will fail

You have to define how many interrupts and what they are.

I didn't write the interruption code and Linus and Alvin might help here.

The switch has a single interrupt pin that signals an interruption happened.
The code reads a register to multiplex to these interruptions:

INT_TYPE_LINK_STATUS = 0,
INT_TYPE_METER_EXCEED,
INT_TYPE_LEARN_LIMIT,
INT_TYPE_LINK_SPEED,
INT_TYPE_CONGEST,
INT_TYPE_GREEN_FEATURE,
INT_TYPE_LOOP_DETECT,
INT_TYPE_8051,
INT_TYPE_CABLE_DIAG,
INT_TYPE_ACL,
INT_TYPE_RESERVED, /* Unused */
INT_TYPE_SLIENT,

And most of them, but not all, multiplex again to each port.

However, the linux driver today does not care about any of these
interruptions but INT_TYPE_LINK_STATUS. So it simply multiplex only
this the interruption to each port, in a n-cell map (n being number of
ports).
I don't know what to describe here as device-tree should be something
independent of a particular OS or driver.

Anyway, I doubt someone might want to plug one of these interruptions
outside the switch driver. Could it be simple as this:

       interrupts:
        minItems: 3
        maxItems: 10
        description:
          interrupt mapping one per switch port

Once realtek-smi.yaml settles, I'll also send the realtek-mdio.yaml.

Why not turn realtek-smi.yaml into realtek.yaml which would also contain information for the mdio interface? The things different with using MDIO are that we don't use the [mdc,mdio,reset]-gpios properties and don't handle the PHYs to the DSA ports. Couldn't you present these differences on a single YAML file?
