ok, I see your point here

I see, this would have to be more generic then (compatible =
"usb-root-hub", etc..)
however, let's postpone this discussion and evaluate more options (see below)

this is going on for a while now, I think it started with Rob's
comment here: [0]
I do not remember any explicit NACKs on that idea
I took a step back and tried to figure out the
requirements/constraints again (in no specific order):
a) we need to initialize multiple PHYs on an xHCI controller
b) other USB controller implementation already initialize multiple
PHYs (see [1]) and we must not break these
c) we need to make sure that we don't get any conflicts when specifying PHYs
(for example: if we pass the PHY for the root-hub/controller port 1
at &usb/device@1 then we may run into a problem where device@1 also
requires a USB PHY. I'm not sure if such cases exist in real-life
though)
d) currently the devicetree phy bindings state that a phy-names
property is mandatory (see [2], I interpret this as 'we cannot have
"phys = <...>" without "phy-names = ...'")
e) existing USB OF helper functions (like of_usb_get_dr_mode_by_phy)
rely on the fact that the PHY is specified directly at the controller
f) DT hierarchy should match the reality
g) ...feel free to name more
defining the PHYs directly under the controller node gives these
results (my own interpretation):
a) we can implement this similar to my current patch (the only
difference would be where the code takes the PHYs from)
b) I am not familiar with these other drivers, however we might be
able to fix those by simply removing the "parse all PHYs" code from
them (and rely on our new code)
c) I don't see any problems, if a controller needs more than just an
USB PHY then we could still use the "phy-names" to skip all non USB
PHYs
d) we would either have to make phy-names optional for this specific
use-case or come up with a convention how the phy-names should be
built for our case
e) of_usb_get_dr_mode_by_phy and friends would still work - no changes required
f) hierarchy matches the reality if we define that the root-hub is not
specified in device-tree (this would mean that we simply treat the
PHYs as properties of the controller, I'm not aware of any other
"root-hub" specific properties)
defining the PHYs in a root-hub node gives these results (my own
interpretation):
a) that's what this series does
b) we're not touching the other implementations - however, existing
.dts files would have to be changed to switch to this new binding
c) the root-hub is currently separated, so there are no conflicts
(needs more thoughts though if we need to nest the USB devices below
the root-hub)
d) phy-names can be specified easily and non USB PHYs are skipped by
the current code already
e) of_usb_get_dr_mode_by_phy and friends would have to be adjusted
(not part of this series yet)
f) the root-hub is now described in devicetree but the hierarchy may
not be correct
could you please let me know if you see more requirements or constraints?
do you agree with my interpretation of the two possible solutions (and
even more important: which are the ones you don't agree with)?

yes, both refer to the same port/connector
