Please update Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/dsd/phy.rst

Please also Cc: the ACPI list. I have no idea what the naming
convention is for ACPI properties.

This is an ACPI only property. It is not valid in DT. It does not
fulfil the DT naming requirement etc. So please move this up inside
the if (is_acpi_node(child)) clause.

There is probably a two byte hole after mdix_ctrl. So please consider
adding it there. Also, don't forget to update the documentation.
