    arm64: dts: amlogic: remove ethernet-phy-idAAAA.BBBB compatible strings · 890265c9

    The Ethernet PHY documentation
    (Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/phy.txt) states that:
      If the PHY reports an incorrect ID (or none at all) then the
      "compatible" list may contain an entry with the correct PHY ID in the
      form: "ethernet-phy-idAAAA.BBBB"
    
    An older version of the documentation suggested that the compatible
    string can be used when the PHY ID is known.
    
    Remove the ethernet-phy-id compatible string and add a comment with the
    PHY ID instead.
    This is a no-op on boards which are shipped with the PHY that was
    listed (= all known cases). However, if a board manufacturer decides to
    ship a different PHY we will now load and use the correct driver because
    we ask the PHY to identify itself.
