I understand what you are saying and if that is the way things are done 
I'm fine with it. As this was brought to light by a recent change in the 
bindings I wish to understand if this was always the case the bindings 
have been wrong all along or not.

I only ask as because if we keep the port@0 mandatory there will be 
board files that needs to add empty port@0 nodes as we know they are not 
used. And as the media bindings are already quiet large for some Renesas 
boards I want to understand this before spewing out a lot of patches 
adding empty nodes ;-)
