Perhaps a single cell with a lane mask would be simpler.

It is generally easier to have a fixed number of cells.

indexes are generally a red flag in binding. What is the index, how does 
it correspond to the h/w and why do you need it. If we do end up needing 
it, 'reg' is generally how we address some component.

Why do you have lane assignments here and in the phy cells?

We have standard phy modes already for at least most of these types. 
Generally the mode is set in the phy cells.

Indeed, it is not. There's been some proposals.

Other than lane assignments and modes, I don't really understand what 
you are trying to do. It all looks too complex and I don't see any other 
phy bindings needing something this complex.
