Mixed tabs and spaces. Drop the tabs.
What's not clear to me is do you have 2 or 4 lanes?

maximum: 5
Though isn't this redundant with the child nodes? You could use the
standard 'phy-mode' property in each child.

Do you need to support serdes0_lane@0 and serdes1_lane@0 (or similar
with "@1")? That's illegal as you have 2 nodes with the same address.

Seems like phy-mode would be sufficient. Are these separate blocks from
the parent?

Just 'maximum: 1' instead.
