Why not turn realtek-smi.yaml into realtek.yaml which would also contain 
information for the mdio interface? The things different with using MDIO 
are that we don't use the [mdc,mdio,reset]-gpios properties and don't 
handle the PHYs to the DSA ports. Couldn't you present these differences 
on a single YAML file?
