Yes, that's what he meant: If a board actually doesn't have Ethernet
configured, dt-validate complains. I saw this before, but didn't find
any solution.
An example is: $ dt-validate ... sun50i-a64-pinephone-1.2.dtb
arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-a64-pinephone-1.2.dtb:
  ethernet@1c30000: Unevaluated properties are not allowed ('resets', 'reset-names', 'mdio' were unexpected)
  From schema: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/allwinner,sun8i-a83t-emac.yaml

Why exactly is beyond me, but this patch removes this message.

Cheers,
Andre
