dt-binding: phy: don't confuse with Ethernet phy properties
The generic PHY 'phys' property sometime appears in the same node with the Ethernet PHY 'phy' or 'phy-handle' properties. Add a warning in phy-bindings.txt to reduce confusion. Signed-off-by: Baruch Siach <baruch@tkos.co.il> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
