What common property? I don't see any such property in 
ethernet-controller.yaml.

Is this for an serdes, sgmii, etc. type phy or ethernet phy? Either way, 
this property belongs in the PHY's node because it is the PHY that has 
supply connection. I'm guessing you put this here for the latter case 
because ethernet PHYs on MDIO are "discoverable" except for the small 
problem that powering them on is not discoverable.
