Hi Jose
So far, all MACs which support 10G have used phy-handle to point to a
PHY on am MDIO bus, and that PHY uses .compatible =
"ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c45". of_mdiobus_register() will then find the
PHY and register it. You really should try to follow this, if you can.

That is not necessarily true. Take a look at:
arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl-zii-rdu2.dtsi
&pcie {
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_pcie>;
reset-gpio = <&gpio7 12 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
status = "okay";
host@0 {
reg = <0 0 0 0 0>;
#address-cells = <3>;
#size-cells = <2>;
i210: i210@0 {
reg = <0 0 0 0 0>;
};
};
};
The PCIe core will look in the device tree and when it creates the
platform device for the i210 on the pcie bus, it points
pdev->dev.of_node at this node. So long as you are using a platform
with DT, you can do this. I hope you are not using x86..
