Yeah, that's easy enough to add.

We don't know yet.

If you look at (yaml) bindings using a single phy-cell, the majority
simply ignores describing what the index is used for and which values
are valid. Of the few that do describe it, the cell index is either used
for something which does not allow itself for mapping to PHY_TYPE or
PHY_TYPE is used.

I don't have a strong preference here either. Let's see what Krzysztof
and Rob says.
