I'm thinking either "mdios" is a container node for other "mdio" nodes,
or you have the "mdio" node directly. Are you sure you want this
structure? We might have problems if we pass this DT as-is up to Linux.
Whereas the support for an "mdios" subnode could be upstreamed, I think.
The current DT bindings document says:
- mdio : Container of PHY and devices on the switches MDIO
bus.
- mdio? : Container of PHYs and devices on the external MDIO
bus. The node must contains a compatible string of
"marvell,mv88e6xxx-mdio-external"
You have an "mdios" which theoretically matches "mdio?" but only
unintendedly so, since it is the internal MDIO bus and not the external
one.
Easiest way out right now is to not introduce something which isn't
parsed by the current Linux driver. So the internal MDIO bus would be
named "mdio", and the external one would be named whatever, and would be
identified by compatible string.
