I agree with this. I've done this which works. It's even found a port
node with the ethernet property missing, as it should've.

I had one possible use case, PHY muxing, but it has nothing to do with
the PHY registers of the PHYs on the internal MDIO bus so it's not a
valid use case.

I think circumventing the mdio node for ports without a phy-handle will
bring unnecessary complexity and confusion as I may define a port with
reg = <1> with phy-handle to a phy with reg = <4>. In that case, a port
with reg = <4> without a phy-handle would try the phy with reg <4> and fail.

This is of course if I understood correctly that "(port-based) MDIO
addresses" means reading the MDIO address of a phy from the reg of a
port defined under the ports node.
