This description includes ethernet-controller.yaml, which contains:

  pcs-handle:
    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/phandle
    description:
      Specifies a reference to a node representing a PCS PHY device on a MDIO
      bus to link with an external PHY (phy-handle) if exists.

Is there a reason why a custom property is needed rather than using the
pcs-handle property already provided by the ethernet-controller DT
description?

Thanks.
