Isn't this a property of the phy (this is the controller schema)? Looks 
like we have similar properties already and they go in phy nodes. Would 
be good to have a standard property, but let's be clear where it goes.

We need to add '-ps' as a standard unit suffix (in dt-schema) and then a 
type is not needed here.
