Sorry for the inconvenience. I did the below changes in my 
microchip,lan865x.yaml file and executed dt_binding_check. It 
successfully created the microchip,lan865x.example.dts without any 
errors. Herewith I have attached the updated microchip,lan865x.yaml file 
and the generated microchip,lan865x.example.dts file for your reference.

properties:
   compatible:
     oneOf:
       - items:
           - const: microchip,lan8651
           - const: microchip,lan8650
....

       ethernet@0 {
         compatible = "microchip,lan8651", "microchip,lan8650";
         reg = <0>;
         pinctrl-names = "default";
         pinctrl-0 = <&eth0_pins>;
         interrupt-parent = <&gpio>;
         interrupts = <6 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>;
         local-mac-address = [04 05 06 01 02 03];
         spi-max-frequency = <15000000>;
       };

LAN8650 is the fallback here as the driver uses the compatible string as 
"microchip,lan8650". I am using LAN8651 in my RPI4 test setup. So I 
added the below compatible string

compatible = "microchip,lan8651", "microchip,lan8650"

in my RPI 4 DT overlay file and tested in my RPI 4 test setup and it 
worked well.

Herewith I have attached my RPI 4 dt overlay file lan8651-overlay.dts 
for your reference.

Hope this is OK now?
