Can you explain why? It's a wireless ethernet interface with a MAC
address, there's other example in the kernel doing this so there's
already a precedent, can you explain how else to do this or give me an
example?

Why? If you look through DT outside of rockchip there's even more
stretching and I don't see how using this goes beyond breaking, I
think this is a bit of an exaggeration. Rather than saying no how
about explaining an alternative solution?
