Maybe take a look at what is going on in dsa_slave_phy_setup() and
dsa_slave_phy_connect().

The way i understand it, is it first looks in DT to see if there is a
phy-handle, and if there is, it uses it. If not, it assumes there is a
1:1 mapping between port number and PHY address, and looks to see if a
PHY has been found on ds->slave_mii_bus at that address, and uses it.

So i don't think you need to list the PHY, the fallback should be
used.
