Well, you have to be able to match a discoverable device to a DT node. Unless you only have one thing on the bus (how would you know though, they're discoverable?), that's with reg. And if you need to say turn on a regulator for the device to be discovered, then you need compatible to know how to do that. So either don't describe the device in DT because you can discover everything or you describe it in DT with both 'compatible' and 'reg'. MDIO is not special. Rob
