NP. I'd like to add this info to MAINTAINERS or maybe a git commit
hook could figure this out automagically.

That's fine as long as the indices are fixed.

I think you need to state index 1 is dp_com (and only for
"qcom,sdm845-qmp-usb3-phy") and a name for index 0. 'reg-base' doesn't
seem great, but I don't have another suggestion.

For the driver, it's not the driver's job to enforce any of this.
