The DT people are unhappy with PHYs don't use compatibles, so
validation does not work. It probably too late to add compatibles to
very PHY driver. But this is new development work, we don't have any
history. So we can add a compatible per package to make the validation
tools work.

So for parsing the tree in the kernel we look for
'ethernet-phy-package'. For validating the tree using the yaml tools
we use the 'qca807x-phy-package'.
