after I change above example 0x2 to 0x22, mdio.yaml can report exceed 31.
Only issue should be only when "ethernet-phy" use node name "mdio".

in mdio-mux-mmioreg.yaml line 18:
allOf:
- $ref: /schemas/net/mdio-mux.yaml#
in mdio-mux.yaml
patternProperties:
'^mdio@[0-9a-f]+$': -> A
$ref: mdio.yaml#
In mdio.yaml
properties:
$nodename:
pattern: "^mdio(@.*)?
^^^^^ mdio@20 Match condition A, it should correct.
patternProperties:
'@[0-9a-f]+$':
^^^^ mdio@20 also match this one. but I suppose it should
search mdio@20's child node, such as ethernet-phy@2,
but not.
