Humm, should not we rather require Ethernet PHY Device Tree nodes to
have *at least* a "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22" or
"ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c45", and any other compatible string which
further specifies the hardware is also welcome?

Do you think this deserves another commit when net-next opens up again?
