Although energy detection is something that is implemented by many PHYs,
I am not sure a generic property is suitable here, I would prefix that
with the SMSC vendor prefix here to make it clear this only applies to
this PHY.

Would not you want to make it a reverse property here though, something
like this:

smsc,energy-detect: boolean, when present indicates the PHY reliably
supports energy detection

That does not need to be ifdefd out, at best annontate with __maybe_unused?

That looks strange, why would the property be placed at the parent level
when this is a PHY device tree node property?
