Is "global" access to the PADCTL DT node/driver required? I rather would 
have expected this binding to reference the port objects in the PADCTL 
node. Perhaps the intent is that drivers can use this property to go and 
read the port information directly from the PADCTL node and interpret it 
themselves without requiring the PADCTL driver to provide an interface 
for ports? I guess that would also explain why this binding references 
only PHYs and not ports:

If that's how this works (which might be worth mentioning in the binding 
doc), then:
