Thanks for the heads up. However, as defined today, SERDES_MAX is a
valid value so I need it in the iteration. There are two possible fixes
though:

Either we let all the for loops as `for (i = 0; i <= SERDES_MAX; i++)`
and define ctrl->phys as an array of size SERDES_MAX + 1.

Or we modify the for loops as `for (i = 0; i < SERDES_MAX; i++)` and we
update SERDES_MAX in include/dt-bindings/phy/phy-ocelot-serdes.h to be
SERDES6G_MAX + 1.

As you wish!

Thanks,
Quentin
