Got it. This should be the correct schema then. I don't check for ethernet
or link as when the mdio property is used, these bindings apply to all
ports. DSA and CPU ports are then further restricted with the dsa-port.yaml
schema.

if:
   required: [ mdio ]
then:
   patternProperties:
     "^(ethernet-)?ports$":
       patternProperties:
         "^(ethernet-)?port@[0-9]+$":
           oneOf:
             - required:
                 - fixed-link
             - required:
                 - phy-handle
             - required:
                 - managed
