笙笙宝宝 0fe323b12f machine: add the F7008-2.5 (GPOE-V1.2) 8+1 target
Add support for the F7008-2.5 board (PCB F7008-2.5GPOE-V1.2), an
RTL8373N + RTL8224N design with eight 2.5GBASE-T ports and one SFP+ cage.

The LED pads are not wired in port order, so the generic DEFAULT_8C_1SFP
target lights the wrong lamp on this board. The pad to lamp map was
measured on the hardware and is documented in doc/devices/F7008-2.5.md.

The green lamp marks a 2.5G link, the yellow lamp blinks while data flows.

What works

  • All eight 2.5GBASE-T RJ45 ports at 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps
  • SFP+ port with 1G/2.5G/10G modules
  • LEDs of the eight RJ45 ports

Not verified

  • The LED pads for the SFP+ cage are not mapped yet. The SFP+ lamps are left undriven, so an inserted module lights nothing.
  • The UART header footprint is present but unpopulated, and no boot log could be captured from it, so the baud rate is unknown. There are most likely unpopulated 0-Ohm resistors next to the header; bridging those should bring the console to life.

LED wiring

Measured pad to lamp map (led_mux index -> lamp):

Port green lamp yellow lamp
1 pad 0 pad 1
2 pad 2 pad 3
3 pad 4 pad 5
4 pad 6 pad 8
5 pad 9 pad 10
6 pad 12 pad 15
7 pad 18 pad 21
8 pad 24 pad 25

Pads 7, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20, 22, 23, 26 and 27 do not drive an RJ45 lamp.

The front panel is silkscreened 2.5G: Green / 10/100M: Yellow, and the target follows it: the green lamp is on while the port is linked at 2.5G, the yellow lamp blinks while data is flowing.
