I didn't test that extensively, but the eMMC serves my rootfs and I
didn't had any problems so far.

I have authored a nearly identical snippet, mine looks as follows:

+               i2c at 7 {
+                       #address-cells = <1>;
+                       #size-cells = <0>;
+                       reg = <7>;
+
+                       pcawan: gpio at 71 {
+                               compatible = "nxp,pca9538";
+                               reg = <0x71>;
+
+                               pinctrl-names = "default";
+                               pinctrl-0 = <&pcawan_pins>;
+
+                               interrupt-parent = <&gpio1>;
+                               interrupts = <14 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW>;
+
+                               gpio-controller;
+                               #gpio-cells = <2>;
+
+                               interrupt-controller;
+                               #interrupt-cells = <2>;
+                       };
+               };

The interrupt-controller part doesn't seem to work though, at least

+               interrupt-parent = <&pcawan>;
+               interrupts = <7 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW>;

in the phy node gives an error.

oh right. I changed it for v3.

Right. They do nothing currently. In my local tree I have a
specification for the switch which allows to read the phy registers of
the lan ports, but communication isn't possible yet. For this AFAIK I
need at least one of these. I mailed a few iterations with Andrew here,
but no success so far. Also dropping one cpu port from the definition
didn't help.

Best regards
