It is not really a problem. You see all the PHYs in /sys. You see all
the PCI devices in /sys. Because these all have globally unique names,
it is not a problem.

What is not globally unique is interface names. Those are only unique
to a network name space. And /sys/class/net is network name space
aware. It only contains the interfaces in the current network name
space.
