The Power Sourcing Equipment Power Interface (PSE PI) plays a pivotal role
in the architecture of Power over Ethernet (PoE) systems. It is essentially
a blueprint that outlines how one or multiple power sources are connected
to the eight-pin modular jack, commonly known as the Ethernet RJ45 port.
This connection scheme is crucial for enabling the delivery of power
alongside data over Ethernet cables.
This patch adds support for getting the PSE controller node through PSE PI
device subnode.
This supports adds a way to get the PSE PI id from the pse_pi devicetree
subnode of a PSE controller node simply by reading the reg property.

In the current PSE interface for Ethernet Power Equipment, support is
limited to PoDL. This patch extends the interface to accommodate the
objects specified in IEEE 802.3-2022 145.2 for Power sourcing
Equipment (PSE).
The following objects are now supported and considered mandatory:
- IEEE 802.3-2022 30.9.1.1.5 aPSEPowerDetectionStatus
- IEEE 802.3-2022 30.9.1.1.2 aPSEAdminState
- IEEE 802.3-2022 30.9.1.2.1 aPSEAdminControl
To avoid confusion between "PoDL PSE" and "PoE PSE", which have similar
names but distinct values, we have followed the suggestion of Oleksij
Rempel and Andrew Lunn to maintain separate naming schemes for each,
using c33 (clause 33) prefix for "PoE PSE".
