Is there a device tree binding document for this somewhere?

No, but I will create one.

I am also not sure iof this is the correct way of doing this.

We first have to load the FW into the Ethernet PHY though some generic
SoC registers and then we can find it normally on the MDIO bus and
interact with it like an external PHY on the MDIO bus.
