This is not a device in itself is it? There is no driver for this.

It seems like these should be properties in the PHY node, since it is
the PHY driver which make use of them. This cannot be the first SoC
device which is both on some sort of serial bus, but also has memory
mapped registers. Please look around and find the correct way to do
this.
