And that isn't absolutely correct either, since enet1 depends on
net0... If enet0's mdio goes into sleep mode before enet1, then
enet1 will fail to send power-down command to its PHY...

So the better solution would be

sleep-nexus {
	sleep = <enet0-sccr>;

	enet0 {
		mdio {
		};
	};

	enet1 {
		sleep = <enet1-sccr>;
	};
};

..which isn't 100% correct either, but will work (because we use
a separate driver for the Gianfar MDIO).

What do you think?
