I don't think your description is correct. What i think is causing the
problem is that the ethphy subnode in dove.dtsi does not have an @X.

By moving it into the .dts file, you can then give it the correct @1,
or @3, which makes the linter happy. The kernel itself does not care
about this, it is an example of the linter being much more strict than
the kernel.

If you agree with me, please update the description.
