dt: Document a compatible entry for MDIO ethernet Phys
This describes a compatible entry of the form: ethernet-phy-idAAAA,BBBB Which is modelled after the PCI structured compatible entry (pciVVVV,DDDD.SSSS.ssss.RR) If present the OF core will be able to use this information to directly create the correct phy without auto probing the bus.
