Hi Joel

How configurable is the synthesis? Can the MDIO bus be left out? You
can have only the MDIO bus and no MAC?

I've not looked at the driver yet, but if the MDIO bus has its own
address space, you could consider making it a standalone
device. Somebody including two or more LiteETH blocks could then have
one shared MDIO bus. That is a supported Linux architecture.

+        tx-fifo-depth = <2>;
+        interrupts = <0x11 0x1>;
+    };
You would normally expect to see some MDIO properties here, a link to
the standard MDIO yaml, etc.
