I mean, if the phys aren't going to be required I would not make the
cells properties required. I seem to recall a warning that dtbs_check
can emit when there are size/addr cells properties in a node where there
are no children, which is why I questioned this in the first place.

Otherwise, if the phys are to be made required (no idea if they should
be), I can only recall this being done with the non-pattern variant. IOW
required:
- phy@0
- phy@1

Cheers,
Conor.
