The DT binding file was included in the PPE driver series, which
documents the compatible string.

I will hold off this DTSI patch series for now as per discussion in the
series. When the series is resumed later, I will mention the link of PPE 
driver patch series in the cover letter, when updating this DTS patch 
series. Sorry for this confusion caused.

These two patches are for adding the PPE port related configuration 
nodes (such as port speed, interface mode and MDIO address) which are 
board specific. RDP441 and RDP433 are two different board types. Perhaps
the title of the patches are not clear enough. I will update the title
to make it clear when the patch series resumes.
