The intent looks good, but it seems to me (and the datasheet helps here
too) that extending the brcm,bus-axi node to cover a wider register
range size could allow you to put the different PHYs as child nodes of
that bus. That way even if the core is probed with BCMA you still have a
proper of_node refefence that your driver can use.

Maybe as a better immediate solution, something like the NAND controller
node would be more elegant, where it only consumes its register space
and not more?
