Is the MDIO controller "allwinner,sun8i-h3-emac" or "snps,dwmac-mdio"?
If the latter, then I think the node is fine, but then the mux should be
a child node of it. IOW, the child of an MDIO controller should either
be a mux node or slave devices.

unit address of 1 and reg prop of 0 don't match. Build your dtb with
W=2.

Another unit address mismatch.
