So I had a look on other Ethernet bindings. Would you agree with
something like the following?

         eth0: ethernet@f7b90000 {
                 ...
                 #address-cells = <1>;
                 #size-cells = <0>;
                 phy-handle = <&ethphy0>;

                 ethphy0: ethernet-phy@0 {
                         reg = <0>;
                 };
         };

Yes, that looks good.

nit: ethernet-phy@0 should not be part of the ethernet controller
but either part of a separate mdio-ctrl node or a separate node itself.

AFAIKS, Berlin SoCs have internal PHYs, i.e. no MII/MDIO-pins exposed
but only MLT-3 differential pairs. At least BG2CD also can connect its
ethernet IP to a PHY capable of HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC).

So for BG2CD this has to look something like:

eth0: ethernet@f7b90000 {
	...
	phy-handle = <&hec>;
};

cec: cec@f7f00baa {
	compatible = "marvell,berlin-cec";
	reg = <0xf7f00baa 0x1234>;

	/* CEC unit contains HEC PHY */
	hec: ethernet-phy {
		bla;
	};
}

For reference, this is what we have for MVEBU SoCs with multiple ports
per controller:

eth: ethernet-ctrl@72000 {
	compatible = "marvell,orion-eth";
	#address-cells = <1>;
	#size-cells = <0>;
	reg = <0x72000 0x4000>;
	clocks = <&gate_clk 2>;
	marvell,tx-checksum-limit = <1600>;
	status = "disabled";

	ethernet-port@0 {
		compatible = "marvell,orion-eth-port";
		reg = <0>;
		interrupts = <29>;
		/* overwrite MAC address in bootloader */
		local-mac-address = [00 00 00 00 00 00];
		phy-handle = <&ethphy>;
	};
};

mdio: mdio-bus@72004 {
	compatible = "marvell,orion-mdio";
	#address-cells = <1>;
	#size-cells = <0>;
	reg = <0x72004 0x84>;
	interrupts = <30>;
	clocks = <&gate_clk 2>;
	status = "disabled";
	ethphy: ethernet-phy {
		/* set phy address in board file */
	};
};
