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.
