I didn't define it anywhere, that's an oversight on my part. The psgmii_ethphy 
property is a handle to an MDIO device, which I thought was integrated to the 
PSGMII bus in the IPQ4019. However, I just learned from Robert Marko that this 
MDIO device corresponds to a SoC-facing PHY integrated in the external QCA807x 
IP. Therefore, I'm not convinced that this MDIO device should be handled by 
the ESS driver.

I'm going to have to consider refactoring the psgmii_ethphy handling out of 
the IPQESS driver, which would make this device tree property unnecessary.
