I don't know. What is NCSI? Is it specific to certain MACs? Why do you
need to set this up in DT? Network configuration is typically done in
userspace, so putting VLAN config in DT doesn't seem right. All
questions your commit message should answer.

No. Don't add to the list. Once all the existing warnings (~40) are
fixed, then this will be turned on by default.

Though currently only ftgmac100 supports ncsi in upstream kernel, it may be used by other mac drivers in the future. What do you think is a proper way for defining the ncsi schema? Having it in a separate yaml like this patch or add the properties to all the mac yamls that supports yaml? If the former way is preferred, how should the schema be defined without "compatible"?

If it is a function of driver support or not, then it doesn't belong in DT.
