Hello

I have get rid of phy-is-integrated, but mdio_mux_syscon_switch_fn need to enable/disable ephy clk/reset.
And so access to internal PHY node.
But current DT made this ugly: (need to find mdio-mux then internalmdio then internal PHY)

Since MAC cannot reset/choose internal MDIO without ephy clk/rst, could we interpret this as thoses clk/rst must be set in emac node.
This will simplify a lot the code.
