There can be multiple ways to define the binding. For e.g. We
discussed few ways of binding the phys to the controller

controller {
              phy0 = <&phandle1_name>;
              phy1 = <&phandle2_name>;
}

phy0 and phy1 are any name given to obtain a reference to the phy and
the controller should send the phandle name like
get_phy_by_phandle("phy0");. Then we thought of standardizing that
name.

and then finally we settled on something like this
controller {
              phy = <&phandle0_name>, <&phandle1_name>;
}
so that controller can obtain a reference to the PHY using
*of_phy_get(struct device *dev, const char *phandle, u8 index)*
