Ah. So this is equivalent to

CP11X_LABEL(mdio): mdio@12a200 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
compatible = "marvell,orion-mdio";
reg = <0x12a200 0x10>;
clocks = <&CP11X_LABEL(clk) 1 9>, <&CP11X_LABEL(clk) 1 5>,
<&CP11X_LABEL(clk) 1 6>, <&CP11X_LABEL(clk) 1 18>;
status = "disabled";
};

DT seems a lot more readable, "marvell,orion-mdio" is a good hint that
device this is. But maybe it is more readable because that is what i'm
used to.

Please could you add a lot more comments. Given that nobody currently
actually does networking via ACPI, we have to assume everybody trying
to use it is a newbie, and more comments are better than less.

Thanks
Andrew
