Compatible isn't a required property for PHYs so let's remove it from
the binding DT of the VSC8531 PHYs.

Hi Quentin

It is actually a optional property. So you could move it into that
section of the binding documentation. But removing it is also O.K.

It's a property that is already defined in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/phy.txt

I don't think it's actually useful to redefine it there (on the same
principle that we don't redefine/re-explain the reg property).

What do we do? Do I put it in optional properties and refer to the
aforementioned doc or do I just remove it as it's done in this patch?

Thanks,
Quentin
