So I'll have to convert the bindings to YAML, right?

Ack, will change the name of the property.

The register range referred to by this node *does* represent also an
SGMII phy. These sgmiisys nodes also carry the 'syscon' compatible, and
are referenced in the node of the Ethernet core, and then used by
drivers/net/ethernet/mediatek/mtk_sgmii.c using syscon_node_to_regmap.
(This is the current situation already, and not related to the patchset
now adding only a new property to support hardware which needs that)

So: Should I introduce a new binding for the same compatible strings
related to the SGMII PHY features? Or is it fine in this case to add
this property to the existing binding?

Thank you in advance for your advise!
