Thanks, I was curious so I played around to answer the question via
testing, and you're right... rx-queues-config/tx-queues-config aren't
evaluated unless they sit under the node with the compatible (i.e. it
doesn't just follow the phandle and evaluate). That makes sense to me I
suppose.

So, I guess, would maintainers prefer to see option (1) or (2) above? I
want that thing evaluated.

Option 1., above, has duplicated configuration, but is probably a more accurate
representation of the hardware description.

Option 2., above, doesn't duplicate rx-queues-config/tx-queues-config,
but is a weirder representation of hardware description, and only
complains once (which is fine since it's shared) when the binding checker
runs (i.e. only the etherent parent containing rx-queues-config yells).

In the below example you can see what I mean by the "only complains
once" comment as well as illustration that the patchset as is doesn't
allow rx-queues-config/tx-queues-config to be validated by dt-binding
checks:
