Since this is something new, would it be a problem to make it mandatory
to define a reg? (And return error if we find something? Or print a
warn?)

I might be confused by this, but isn't this already done? (passing
scanphys in each recursive call so we can set it to true if needed?)

Also I think the scanphys should be skipped for the PHY package
(assuming we make reg mandatory, it would be an error condition and
should not be handled?)
