This is problematic... Since this is a plain standard PHY and we don't
have a compatible (as it's matched with the PHY id) we don't have DT to
add this... Sooo how to add this? Should we update the generic-phy dt?

Should we create a dummy dt and add a compatible adding
ethernet-phy.ID... just for this properties?

This is why we were a bit confused about adding a DT commit to this.
