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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
