Actually, in this case the property isn't even defined (per
ethernet-controller.yaml) if the phy-mode wasn't an rgmii one, so what
you had here was probably fine. Ordinarily, that's not the case, so you'd
have been setting constraints for only rgmii phy-modes and no
constraints at all for non-rgmii phy-modes.
