We can't if we want to be able to use the container_of macro in
to_berlin_sata_phy_priv(). And we want a common structure to store the
common spinlock and base address.

Yes. Each sub-node describe a PHY and register as a PHY provider. This
allow to reference the PHY as <&sata_phy0> and not <&sata_phy 0>. It
would be confusing to have a sub-node sata_phy0 and to use its parent
to access it.
