Hi Krzysztof,

Yes the PHY goes on the MDIO bus and the pattern is only needed for 
backward compatibility.

The pattern was specific to ethernet-phy in the past, but Rob removed it 
in commit ac8fe40c3628 ("dt-bindings: net: renesas: Drop ethernet-phy 
node schema"). Have something changed and I should revert that as part 
of this patch?

I agree it should be listed as deprecated, would this diff work for you?

+# In older bindings there where no mdio child-node to describe the MDIO bus
+# and the PHY. To not fail older bindings accept any node with an address. New
+# users should describe the PHY inside the mdio child-node.
 patternProperties:
   "@[0-9a-f]$":
     type: object
+    deprecated: true

Depending on if Rob's patch should be reverted in whole or in part I 
could also try to revert the pattern to "^ethernet-phy@[0-9a-f]$" if you 
wish. Please let me know what looks best to you.
