No don't do this. It is just going to lead to errors. The PHY driver
knows how many PHYs are in the package. So it can figure out what the
base address is and create the package. It can add each PHY as they
probe. That cannot go wrong.
If you create the package based on DT you have to validate that the DT
is correct. You need the same information, the base address, how many
packages are in the PHY, etc. So DT gains your nothing except more
potential to get it wrong.
Please use DT just for properties for the package, nothing else.
