on G12A there was a specific reason (iirc it was because the PHY ID
can be any arbitrary value programmed into some register) why we added
it with a compatible string
Jerome, do we have the same situation on GXL/GXM as well?

if not I prefer to drop the compatible string because it's probably
from a time where the PHY dt-bindings stated "add the PHY ID
compatible string if you know it" while the actual suggestion was
"only add it if reading the ID doesn't work for some reason"
