realtek: phy: add comment to firmware file definition
Add a comment stating the situation around a specific RTL838x firmware file. After SerDes setup has been moved to the PCS driver, this firmware file is partially unused. If the remaining bits are pulled out or just replaced, this firmware file can be dropped. The comment ensures that we do not forget about that.
