Because this is the current state. Please check the all other MACs
handling the phy-supply (if supported). Some of them handling it under
the mdio-node (not the phy-node) but most bindings do specify this on
MAC level (e.g. FEC, DWMAC (suni, rk)).

I agree that the phy sould handle this but this would be a lot more
effort and since the dwmac-sun8i/rk bindings do support this on MAC
level I would keep it that way.

  Marco
