    -c45 and -c22 use a completely different MDIO protocol, Zed doesn't
    have a 10GE port, so it certainly doesn't use -c45.

    If there is no compatible string at all the defined default is to use
    -c22.

    Phy autodetection has always worked in some cases, but for DT ethernet
    bindings it is expected that there is an option to specify an explicit
    MDIO bus, and a phy-handle phandle to point to the phy. The phy should
    be explicitly called out with the fixed MDIO address specified to
    avoid sketchy MDIO address auto probing.

    This provides the framework to specify interrupts and register
    overrides for the phy in the DT.
