In some SGMII use cases where both a fixed link external PHY and the internal PCS/PMA PHY need to be configured, we should explicitly use a phandle "pcs-phy" to get the reference to the PCS/PMA PHY. Otherwise, the driver would use "phy-handle" in the DT as the reference to both the external and the internal PCS/PMA PHY. In other cases where the core is connected to a SFP cage, we could still point phy-handle to the intenal PCS/PMA PHY, and let the driver connect to the SFP module, if exist, via phylink.
