I would still propose to use compatible of this series and treat it as a
family name of compatible or similar devices. What other choice we have?

If new (third) PHY bindings appear, then rename older to "-legacies" and
this one to "-legacy"?

If you need the source of authority, then:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-devicetree/YlhkwvGdcf4ozTzG@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

If you need unofficial documentation, then slides here:
https://osseu2022.sched.com/event/15z0W

If you need something official, that's on TODO list. :)

Since you already have here three compatibles, you cannot have one
filename matching exactly all of them, so we already accept something
generic. Therefore I proposed the common part - matching SoC component.
