So, if I understand you correctly, the PHY mode should not be coded in the DT 
since the mode is run-time configurable, and depends on the SFP module. Is 
that correct?

How about the following then:

&cps_emac3 {
        phy-names = "comphy";
        phys = <&cps_comphy 5>;
        sfp = <&sfp_eth3>;
};

Thanks,
