Sorry for the inconvenience. I did the below changes in my
microchip,lan865x.yaml file and executed dt_binding_check. It
successfully created the microchip,lan865x.example.dts without any
errors. Herewith I have attached the updated microchip,lan865x.yaml file
and the generated microchip,lan865x.example.dts file for your reference.

properties:
compatible:
oneOf:
- items:
- const: microchip,lan8651
- const: microchip,lan8650
....

ethernet@0 {
compatible = "microchip,lan8651", "microchip,lan8650";
reg = <0>;
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&eth0_pins>;
interrupt-parent = <&gpio>;
interrupts = <6 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>;
local-mac-address = [04 05 06 01 02 03];
spi-max-frequency = <15000000>;
};

LAN8650 is the fallback here as the driver uses the compatible string as
"microchip,lan8650". I am using LAN8651 in my RPI4 test setup. So I
added the below compatible string

compatible = "microchip,lan8651", "microchip,lan8650"

in my RPI 4 DT overlay file and tested in my RPI 4 test setup and it
worked well.

Herewith I have attached my RPI 4 dt overlay file lan8651-overlay.dts
for your reference.

Hope this is OK now?
