I've no idea if DT allows this. The issue is that reg is the same for
both nodes within the ethernet-phy-package container, and
ethernet-phy@28. They are all addresses on the same MDIO bus.  We are
parsing this bus structure ourselves in __of_mdiobus_register(), so we
could make it work, but i don't know if we should make it work.
