Maybe we need to add the ASL for mdio as well, the sample is shown below:

Device (MDIO) {
                Name(_HID, "HISI00B1")
                Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate (){
                        Memory32Fixed (ReadWrite, 0x803c0000 , 0x10000)
                })

                Device (PHY0) {
                        Name (_DSD, Package () {
                                ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
                                Package () {
                                        Package () {"phy-addr", 0},
                                        Package () {"ethernet-phy", "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22"},
                                }
                        })
                }
                Device (PHY1) {
                        Name (_DSD, Package () {
                                ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
                                Package () {
                                        Package () {"phy-addr", 1},
                                        Package () {"ethernet-phy", "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22"},
                                }
                        })
                }
        }
