The MACB driver embeds an MDIO bus controller and for this reason there
was no need for an MDIO sub-node present to contain the PHY nodes. Adding
MDIO devies directly under an Ethernet node is deprecated, so an MDIO node
is included to contain of the PHY nodes (and other MDIO devices' nodes).

Changes in v2:
- patch renamed from "macb: bindings doc: use an MDIO node as a
container for PHY nodes" to "dt-bindings: net: macb: use an MDIO
node as a container for PHY nodes"
