If this is a property of the phy, then it belongs in the phy node or
should just be implied by the phy's compatible. IOW, you should be able
to support this or not without changing DTs.

Is this spec Synopys specific? (About the only thing Google turns up are
your patches.) If not, then probably shouldn't have a 'snps' prefix.
