Hi Marcin

This reference looks good, giving both the bus and the PHY on the bus.

I assume you can use references like this within the Device (PHY8)
node? You need to be able to reference a GPIO used for resetting the
PHY. And you also need to reference a GPIO at the Device (MDIO) level
for resetting all the PHYs on the MDIO bus.
