I can envision needing this, but I can't say that I've seen custom 
properties being proposed for this purpose.

Is the amplitude peak to peak? You just said it was, but perhaps make 
the property name more clearly defined: tx-p2p-microvolt

I'm not wild about the -names, but I think outside of ethernet most 
cases will only be 1 entry.

For a phy provider with multiple phys, what if each one needs a 
different voltage (for the same mode)?

Works here: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/samsung/pmu.yaml:56

The requirement is you need to constrain the size with maxItems. It can 
be a 'should be enough for anyone' value.
