Usually the MDI pair order reversal configuration is defined by
bootstrap pin MDI_CFG. Some designs, however, require overriding the MDI
pair order and force either normal or reverse order.

Add mutually exclusive properties 'marvell,force-mdi-order-normal' and
'marvell,force-mdi-order-reverse' for that purpose.

v2: enforce mutually exclusive relationship of the two new properties in
    dt-schema.

Is there an in-tree dts file for this? We like to see that options
which are added are actually used.

I planning to submit DTS for all the Adtran 8700 series once the
MediaTek MT7988 SoC Ethernet is fully supported. At this point I'm still
waiting for feedback on how to organize the PCS drivers for that SoC,
see https://patchwork.kernel.org/comment/25954425/

Ordinarily, when there are property related constraints in here, the
allOf is moved after the property definitions, since it is odd to talk
about rules for properties prior to defining them. If you resend, please
move these down. Otherwise,

Why 2 properties for 1 setting? Just do something like this:

marvell,mdi-cfg-order = <0|1>;

1 means reverse, 0 means normal (or vise-versa). Not present then means 
use MDI_CFG setting. Then the binding naturally avoids nonsensical 
combinations of properties without the schema having to enforce it.

Feel free to tweak the naming/values. I would make 0 and 1 align with 
MDI_CFG states, but I don't know what those are.
