I've seen your patches for 44x support and I like the idea of a
general board setup.
I wanted to make the dts public, because I needed some help to figure
out the "mdio-device" tag. So if you have further use for this you're
welcome.

The missing values in the dts get filled in by ft_cpu_setup(...) from
uboot, it's generic code and not board specific, but the board setup
in u-boot must call it, so it won't work for all boards.
