Hi,
I don't really see what bindings would need to be documented, as the node
names and properties used so far are common.  Like, the "mdio" node name
is common, the enetc ports are "pci" nodes, nothing special for these.
What's missing?
Hi Claudiu

It is not well defined where to put phy nodes. Some drivers do allow
them directly in the MAC node, some drivers optionally allow an mdio
sub-node, others enforce an mdio sub-node. The name of the sub-node is
also not well defined.

So just documenting that the mdio sub-node is mandatory will help
people writing device trees for their boards.
