You forgot to CC devicetree-discuss. Properties normally use dashes (-)
instead of underscores (_). These properties are more about
configuration and not hardware.

It is not clear to me from the description that dual_emac is a boolean
(0/1). Shouldn't dual_emacs_res_vlan be a property of the slave?

It would also be good to update the example below with this.
Since the series is already applied in net-next tree, i will submit a patch with incorporating
the above comments. Will add devicetree-discuss in my future patches.
