Please add to the diagram the external clocks and external resets.
Additionally, add the resets and clocks between the NSSCC and the
individual PHYs. Typically, the internal clocks and resets are not in
DT, at last not for a single PHY. For a quad PHY in a package, it
might make sense to add them. Before we can decide that, we need a
clear idea what the hardware looks like.

Device tree effectively defined devices on bus, in a tree, and how
they interconnect. Does the NSSCC have its own address on the MDIO
bus? Or does it share an address with one of the PHYs? It could be we
want to describe the NSSCC as a DT node of its own within the
package. It is probably both a clock consumer, and a clock provider.
The individual PHYs are then clock consumers, of the clocks the NSSCC
exports. Same for resets.

PCS will need further work and thinking about. Typically, they are not
described in DT for a PHY. In general, a PCS in a PHY does not have a
driver of its own, the firmware in the PHY mostly controls it, not
Linux. For the moment, lets leave them as they are, and we will come
back to them once we get the clocks and resets correctly described.
