Ah ok, now I understand this. Then it is supposed to be like below,

properties: 

   compatible: 

     oneOf: 

       - const: microchip,lan8650 

       - items: 

           - const: microchip,lan8651 

           - const: microchip,lan8650

Executed dt_binding_check with the above update and it was successful. 
Hope this is OK?

Best regards,
Parthiban V
