Let me take a look at i2c case again. For gems it should be clear that I need to 
remove it because when there is mdio node I am getting errors like this.

arch/arm64/boot/dts/xilinx/zynqmp.dtsi:627.27-641.5: Warning 
(avoid_unnecessary_addr_size): /axi/ethernet at ff0e0000: unnecessary 
#address-cells/#size-cells without "ranges" or child "reg" property
