realtek target needs help

I noticed that #15192 metions
https://github.com/howels/openwrt/commits/realtek-6.6-test/ as the
development branch. Is anyone coordinating that front? Is there a TODO
list? I have some devices to play with (dgs-1210-28p and dgs-1210-52p)
and I can give a hand on specific topics but I do not have too much
time to lead it. There are some commits in that dev branch that are
actually disabling things. I might be able to work on fixing those
things or check what is useful from the 6.1 PR. However, I don't want
to step over someone's WIP and waste time in useless rework.
