[S.H] The MDIO node is sub-node and embedded in Fman node, the
clocks/clock-names is provided by Fman node, should repeat them in MDIO node?
For the default MDIO bus clock speed, maybe "clock-ranges" should be used?

[S.H] since Fman V2 & V3 can be differentiated by compatible, a boolean
property "fsl,fman-internal-mdio" seems better, if defined, it indicates an
internal MDIO. It looks like below:
fsl,fman-internal-mdio
Usage: required for internal MDIO
Value type: Boolean
Definition: Fman has internal MDIO for internal PCS(Physical
Coding Sublayer) PHYs and external MDIO for external PHYs.
The settings and programming routines for internal/external
MDIO are different. Must be included for internal MDIO.
How about this?
Thanks!
