Tested on GS108Tv3.  I assume this verifies the RTL8231 presence?:

root at OpenWrt:/# dmesg|grep 8231
[    0.443725] Probing RTL8231 GPIOs
[    0.447454] rtl8231_init called, MDIO bus ID: 31


Not 100% sure, but I believe the status LED is green/amber only.  Never
seen any other color.  Don't know how you want this expressed in DT but
the gpio to colour map is

31  32
hi  hi  off
lo  hi  green
hi  lo  amber
lo  lo  off

Almost looks like the two LEDs are wired in opposite directions between
those two GPIOs.

Tried gpios 33, 34 and 35 as well without any visible effect.  Let me
know if I should test any other numbers.
