+Optional Properties:

+- compatible: Compatible list, may contain
+ "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22" or "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c45" for
+ PHYs that implement IEEE802.3 clause 22 or IEEE802.3 clause 45
+ specifications. If neither of these are specified, the default is to
+ assume clause 22. The compatible list may also contain other
+ elements.
+- max-speed: Maximum PHY supported speed (10, 100, 1000...)
+
+ If the phy's identifier is known then the list may contain an entry
+ of the form: "ethernet-phy-idAAAA.BBBB" where
+ AAAA - The value of the 16 bit Phy Identifier 1 register as
+ 4 hex digits. This is the chip vendor OUI bits 3:18
+ BBBB - The value of the 16 bit Phy Identifier 2 register as
+ 4 hex digits. This is the chip vendor OUI bits 19:24,
+ followed by 10 bits of a vendor specific ID.
