Right, this is not the problem we are having. The problem is that
legacy USB PHYs are not grabbed from device-tree. Instead, they are
currently matched with their type in the list of registered USB PHYs,
making it impossible to use 2 distinct USB PHYs this way.

What do you have in mind about generic PHYs? Everything already works
as expected with them.
