This is going to fail if you have any property other than 'reg'. But
then it will never be applied because you never have a node called
'ethernet-port' since you have more than 1 child node. You need this
under 'patternProperties' and 'additionalProperties: true' instead. And
please test some of the requirements here. Like a reg value of 3 or
remove 'phy-mode'.
