For better or worse, the mainline cases of this property all take the
form of:

arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-3720-turris-mox.dts
				link = <&switch1port9 &switch2port9>;
				link = <&switch1port10 &switch0port10>;
arch/arm/boot/dts/vf610-zii-dev-rev-b.dts
						link = <&switch1port6
							&switch2port9>;
						link = <&switch1port5
							&switch0port5>;
arch/arm/boot/dts/vf610-zii-scu4-aib.dts
						link = <&switch1port10
							&switch3port10
							&switch2port10>;
						link = <&switch3port10
							&switch2port10>;
						link = <&switch1port9
							&switch0port10>;

So not really an array of phandles.
