I meant if we are introducing a new to ACPI schema... Not throwing away
existing one.

OK, but even for DT I think we should be using device_property_*() and
fwnode_handle.
If there is an ACPI support for mdio it is perfectly valid to use fwnode
handle on an ACPI system to locate an instance of mdio bus. And
hopefully the caller of this function does not really need to parse
properties itself but will use mdio APIs (mii_bus).
Thanks.
