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.
