These phy-bindings are everything than obvious to me. It seems the docs
are spread across a couple of different files and not fully up to date
either. I basically tried to get something working out of the docs, the
parallela and our vendor DT files.

So my thinkings:
 - the compatible string with the -c22 is used and documented in the phy
   bindings, it should be there.
 - the ID based strings seem to be not needed since, IIUC, the core
   reads the ID from the PHY and uses it, so I just left it out not
   trying to figure out how to obtain the correct ID
 - the marvell compatible strings are used in our vendor tree. They
   aren't used anywhere but in our vendor tree. I though keeping them is
   nice since it identifies the PHY fully. And in case that level of
   detail is needed at some point it is already there.

Assuming that we wanna keep things this way, I'm happy to re-spin this
patch and also add a similar compatible string to the parallela DT.

	Thanks,
	Sören
