I'm confused by "respectively" here.  Does fsl,fman-memac-mdio have two
interrupts (one for 1 Gb/s and one for 10 Gb/s)?  If there's only (at
most) one interrupt per MDIO controller then just delete this line.

What interrupt is used for internal MDIO?  Does "optional" mean it's
used if and only if external MDIO is used, or is it optional even with
external MDIO?  I see it's not present in the example -- do we not have
a real example that has the interrupt?
