Yes, that's how the PHY subsystem works. You pass it a struct device *
that it will wrap a struct phy_provider around. It will then use that
struct device's ->of_node as the parent for the child lookup.

I suspect that that would work, but I'm already somewhat uncomfortable
about how many devices the driver creates. Adding more dummy devices
seems like a workaround.

I attached what I came up with. It extends the OF PHY provider registry
by allowing an additional node to be specified that if specified will
serve as the parent for the child lookup (and hence overrides the
default node that's taken from the struct device).
It is a fairly trivial patch, and you'll notice the bulk of the changes
is adding the additional parameter in a number of different places. The
only thing I'm not quite happy about is that we start needing to pass a
fairly large number of arguments. But perhaps it's still okay.
An alternative would be to make struct phy_provider embeddable into
driver private structures. That way they could be completely initialized
by a driver before being passed to the __of_phy_provider_register()
function (much like struct gpio_chip and others). That would be a fairly
intrusive change, one that I'd be willing to take on, though I'd like to
have Kishon's opinion on this before going ahead.
For reference, here's what I'm imagining:
struct foo_phy_provider {
struct phy_provider base;
...
};
int foo_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
struct foo_phy_provider *priv;
...
priv = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(*priv), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!priv)
return -ENOMEM;
priv->base.dev = &pdev->dev;
priv->base.of_xlate = foo_of_xlate;
err = devm_of_phy_provider_register(&priv->base);
if (err < 0)
return err;
...
}
And of course adapt the signature of the __of_phy_provider_register()
function and remove the allocation from it.

Subject: [PATCH] phy: core: Allow children node to be overridden
In order to more flexibly support device tree bindings, allow drivers to
override the container of the child nodes. By default the device node of
the PHY provider is assumed to be the parent for children, but bindings
may decide to add additional levels for better organization.
