Well, the compatible is "marvell,88e1318s" then.

You are right, it uses PHYID registers. The compatible is not used by
the driver. Anyway, it is nice to have it in there.

Ah, sorry for that. You can try to make the node name unique by either
choosing a different meaningful name or try to add @1 after the node
name. G762 datasheet might have a good name for it, like clock-crystal
or something.

Confirmed.

Hmm, that's difficult because dtc cannot know if you intentionally want
to overwrite that node or I gave you the wrong name for it. The
different node label could be a hint for the latter though.

Sorry for the extra work that comment caused.
