Judging by more comments, there will be a v6, thus please also use
consistent quotes - either ' or ".

As Conor pointed out, compatible is always first.

Why do you need it? reg defines it. Your description does not explain
here much, except copying property name. Can we please avoid
descriptions which just copy name?

Isn't mdio a property of each ethernet port? Existing users
(e.g.bcmgenet, owl-emac, switches) do it that way...

Otherwise how do you define relation-ship? Can one mdio fit multiple ports?
