So you suggest to pass from this binding:
macb1: ethernet@fc028000 {
phy-mode = "rmii";
status = "okay";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
status = "okay";
phy-reset-gpio = <&pioE 6 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
ethernet-phy@1 {
reg = <0x1>;
interrupt-parent = <&pioB>;
interrupts = <31 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>;
};
};
to this binding
macb1: ethernet@fc028000 {
phy-mode = "rmii";
status = "okay";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
status = "okay";
ethernet-phy@1 {
reg = <0x1>;
interrupt-parent = <&pioB>;
interrupts = <31 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>;
phy-reset-gpio = <&pioE 6 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
};
};

Currently there is phy_connect_direct so we can already handle the
preperty of the phy.

but I agree with this one.
