Irrelevant, drop. Also not true, because next patch is driver patch.

1. No, it does not need. Just use whatever numbers.
2. Other code would give you the hint: one example in parent's schema.

Why do you reference here resets from the parent? That's a clear signal
you have one device, so one device node regardless of Linux phy core
behavior.

Drop node, you have warnings.

Align it properly/

Same here.
