The MDIO controller has support to release the internal PHYs from reset
by specifying a second memory resource. This is different between the
currently supported SparX-5 and the LAN966x. Add a new compatible to
distiguish between these two.

No wildcards, use one, specific compatible.

I'm in a kind of dilemma here, have a look yourself:
grep -r "lan966[28x]-" Documentation

Should I deviate from the common "name" now? To make things
worse, there was a similar request by Arnd [1]. But the
solution feels like cheating ("lan966x" -> "lan966") ;)

On a side note, I understand that there should be no wildcards,
because the compatible should target one specific implementation,
right? But then the codename "ocelot" represents a whole series of
chips. Therefore, names for whole families shouldn't be used neither,
right?

Typo here, BTW.

The previous 966x cases were added by one person from Microchip, so he
actually might know something. But do you know whether lan966x will
cover all current and future designs from Microchip? E.g. lan9669 (if
ever made) will be the same? Avoiding wildcard is the easiest, just
choose one implementation, e.g. "lan9662".

Different topic is that all current lan966[28] are from Microchip and
you still add Microsemi, even though it was acquired by Microchip.
That's an inconsistency which should be rather fixed.

You're not adding "ocelot" now, so it is separate topic. However a
compatible like "mscc,ocelot" feels wrong, unless it is used as a
fallback (see: git grep 'apple,').

So if Microchip would review/ack this it would be ok? I don't really
have a strong opinion, I just want to avoid any inconsistencies. If no
one from Microchip will answer, I'll use microchip,lan9668-miim.

Agreed, that was an oversight by me.

Sure, it was just a question for my understanding, not to make a
point for a discussion.

I think it is OK to use microchip,lan966x.
I am not aware of any plans to create future lan966x designed(lan9664 or
lan9669). But we can also be on the safe side and use microchip,lan9668.
I don't have any strong opinion on this.
