Adding the mdio property to the dsa.yaml schema will allow it on all of the
schemas that refer to dsa.yaml such as this one. This addition here is only
to disallow additional properties under the mdio property for this specific
schema.

That said, my understanding is that the internal MDIO bus exists on all of
the switches controlled by DSA. Whether each individual DSA subdriver
supports registering it does not matter in terms of documenting the
internal MDIO bus for all DSA switches.

SJA1110 uses the mdios property instead because it's got two internal mdio
buses, which is why I invalidate the mdio property for it. If SJA1105 has
also got two internal mdio buses, let me know.

I'll handle these accordingly with your answer to my question above.
