What common property? I don't see any such property in
ethernet-controller.yaml.

Is this for an serdes, sgmii, etc. type phy or ethernet phy? Either way,
this property belongs in the PHY's node because it is the PHY that has
supply connection. I'm guessing you put this here for the latter case
because ethernet PHYs on MDIO are "discoverable" except for the small
problem that powering them on is not discoverable.

Not in ethernet-controller.yaml but there are at least a few user of
this binding:
- allwinner,sun4i-a10-mdio.yaml
- allwinner,sun7i-a20-gmac.yaml
- allwinner,sun8i-a83t-emac.yaml
- fsl,fec.yaml
- rockchip-dwmac.yaml
- rockchip,emac.yaml

Also there is no <vendor>,phy-supply nor <ip-vendor>,phy-supply,
therefore I thought this is common.

All kind of ethernet phys connected to you etherent MAC which need to be
power controlled by software. You're right this sould belong to the PHY
node (as Krzysztof already mentioned) but this isn't the case yet. As
you can see there are at least 6 user of the exact same binding.
