Sergei,

How can this be a property of the MDIO bus node? Just think of an MDIO
bus with two PHYs where one is connected via GMII and the other via
RGMII? How should this work?

But you are right that the property should not be part of the PHY node
but the controller node instead. I'll rework and send an update, thanks
for the hint.

Sebastian
