Subject: [PATCH] dt-binding: phy: don't confuse with Ethernet phy properties

The generic PHY 'phys' property sometime appears in the same node with
the Ethernet PHY 'phy' or 'phy-handle' properties. Add a warning in
phy-bindings.txt to reduce confusion.

 Required Properties:
-phys : the phandle for the PHY device (used by the PHY subsystem)
+phys : the phandle for the PHY device (used by the PHY subsystem; not to be
+       confused with the Ethernet specific 'phy' and 'phy-handle' properties,

 phy-names : the names of the PHY corresponding to the PHYs present in the
