In case I wasn't clear, but that compatible is a NAK.

Pretty sure the bus binding already provides these constraints.

You are implementing a secondary MDIO bus within this node. It needs a 
$ref to mdio.yaml instead of defining the bus again implicitly.

This example on its own doesn't make sense. It can't be fully validated 
because you allow any additional properties. Drop it.
