I have this in the device tree:

&davinci_mdio {
        pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";
        pinctrl-0 = <&davinci_mdio_default>;
        pinctrl-1 = <&davinci_mdio_sleep>;
        status = "okay";

        phy0: ethernet-phy@0 {
                compatible = "ethernet-phy-id2000.a212", "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22";
                reg = <0>;

                interrupt-parent = <&gpio2>;
                interrupts = <2 8>;

                pinctrl-names = "default";
                pinctrl-0 = <&phy0_pins>;

                reset-gpios = <&gpio2 9 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
        };

        phy1: ethernet-phy@2 {
                compatible = "ethernet-phy-id2000.a212", "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22";
                reg = <2>;

                interrupt-parent = <&gpio0>;
                interrupts = <2 8>;

                pinctrl-names = "default";
                pinctrl-0 = <&phy1_pins>;

                reset-gpios = <&gpio2 11 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
        };
};

With the phy id values specified in the compatible the mdio bus is only
accessed when the reset pin was handled.

Best regards
Uwe
