Hi, I have a couple of (minor) comments.

Jumping between pllural and singular is a bit jarring, and I assume the
node name is important (i.e. it should be named "mdio").

How about something like:

An MDIO bus node describes an MDIO bus, and is a container for PHY nodes
as described below. An MDIO bus node should be named "mdio".

Given it seems that the MDIO node is expected to live under the node for
the MAC, it would be nice to have a statement to that effect here.

It would be nice to say what the address cell represents (the PHY
address on the MDIO bus, I think?). Also this looks like a fragment of
dts rather than a description. How about:

- #address-cells: Should be <1> - the PHY address on the MDIO bus
- #size-cells: Should be <0>

Otherwise, this looks fine to me.

Thanks,
Mark.

Notes:
    Thanks Mark,
    
    This should have the changes from your comments. It also adds optional properties "compatible" and "reg", were those overlooked or left out intentionally?
    
    Changes since v1:
    
    1. reformat "MDIO bus node" description and add, node name should be "mdio"
    2. reformat property descriptions, describe what the cells represent
    3. add optional properties
    4. add a description after "PHY nodes"
    
    Applies to next-20131113

Please CC netdev@vger.kernel.org too as there might be some interest from 
networking folks not actively following devicetree-discuss.

This does looks good to me, there is not much to be said to the point where I 
wonder if this even deserves such an example, but it cannot hurt.
