Fair enough - I was just following what the PHY driver does when it 
encounters a whitelisted compatible string, e.g. when my board boots:

[Firmware Warn]: /soc@0/mdio@1180000001800/ethernet-phy@0: Whitelisted 
compatible string. Please remove
[Firmware Warn]: /soc@0/mdio@1180000001800/ethernet-phy@1: Whitelisted 
compatible string. Please remove
[Firmware Warn]: /soc@0/mdio@1180000001800/ethernet-phy@2: Whitelisted 
compatible string. Please remove
[Firmware Warn]: /soc@0/mdio@1180000001800/ethernet-phy@3: Whitelisted 
compatible string. Please remove
[Firmware Warn]: /soc@0/mdio@1180000001800/ethernet-phy@4: Whitelisted 
compatible string. Please remove
[Firmware Warn]: /soc@0/mdio@1180000001800/ethernet-phy@5: Whitelisted 
compatible string. Please remove
[Firmware Warn]: /soc@0/mdio@1180000001800/ethernet-phy@6: Whitelisted 
compatible string. Please remove
[Firmware Warn]: /soc@0/mdio@1180000001800/ethernet-phy@7: Whitelisted 
compatible string. Please remove

But I can see why it would be preferable to avoid this kind of message. 
I don't think it's essential so could be removed.

Thanks,
Matt
