Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet-controller.yaml

phy:
$ref: "#/properties/phy-handle"
deprecated: true

New dts files should not be using deprecated properties.

What should be used is:

phy-handle:
$ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/phandle
description:
Specifies a reference to a node representing a PHY device.
