As I said, the bulk of the FMan work comes from another team. Here we
need just enough to hook up the MDIO and PHY nodes. I'd really like to
be able to make progress on this without waiting for that moment in time
we can get the entire FMan binding in place

I guess that's fair (BTW, you accepted tbi-phy nodes/device-type before
without a binding)

That's what the upstream driver is looking for. Anyway, most days PHYs
can be discovered so they don't use/need compatible properties. That's I
guess part of the reason we don't have bindings for them PHY nodes

However, what you can't discover is how they are wired to the MAC(s) so
we still need some nodes in the device tree to convey that. Also, when
looking for a specific kind of PHY, such as TBI, device_type works
easier then parsing compatibles from various vendors or so
