Not separate regions but registers...
I'm obviously bad at documenting things.

The current information in the commit message is misleading and
irrelevant. Looking at the bot's feedback, it's at the same time not
clear enough yet that the mdio controller part is mapped within the
switch memory and can't be used separately from it.

I will update the commit message to something like this:
Add a binding for the MDIO controller integrated into SoC-e SWIP
Ethernet switch IP cores.
The controller shares the memory of the synthesized switch IP core and
cannot be used independently.
