Blindly mapping a register of some other device on the SoC doesn't
look very reasonable.

Shouldn't that be attached to the phy itself?

In which unit? What is the default value?

Can't that be derived from the presence of the phy property?

That also seems PHY related. Overall, I feel like we really need a phy
node for the internal phy.
