Does "hisilicon,mdio" actually have a specific meaning? Is that just there
for legacy reasons?

hi Arnd,
"hisilicon,mdio" is the gernerical configuation compatible for the
default hisilicon chip,
We use generic hisilicon since our MDIO/PHY is same across flavour of SoCs.

Hi Arnd,
Yes, "hisilicon,mdio" exists for the legacy reasons to support older SoC
Hip04.

I see. In that case, that compatible string should probably be mentioned
only as 'optional' in the binding, and not used for devices other than
hip04.
