This property is implemented by stmmac and documented in the DT
bindings. stmmac has not been updated to use Ethernet PHY nodes.

Removing this property will not affect the function of the driver.
The driver probes its MDIO bus and selects the lowest available
address if not specified.

Used as specified in stmmac DT bindings.
