Agreed, but this is the same thing that is done for DSA ports (at least
I think). It uses reg which describe the port number, this is not a
real bus per se, it only refer to port indices.

But if you think this should not be done like this, what do you propose
then ? These nodes are also reference from "pcs-handle" properties in
switch to retrieve the PCS. Would you suggest using something like
pcs-handle = <&eth_miic port_index> and remove the nodes then ?

Thanks,
