I don't have much to say on the series itself, I looked at it and
didn't find anything obviously wrong, however know that this work can
also be helpful for some other use-cases. I have in mind the Marvell
Alaska 88e1543 PHY, which is a 4-port package that can either be used
as a classic Quad-PHY, or a Dual-PHY, each PHY having 2 ports. Having a
DT description of the package is a good step towards being able to
auto-detect which configuration to use for that package.

Thanks for this work,

Maxime
