I would keep the parsing of the property in the driver. But if we
think other PHYs could also support this feature, it would be good to
avoid having "brcm,enet-phy-lane-swap", "marvell,enet-phy-lane-swap",
"davicom,enet-phy-lane-swap", etc. It would be better to have one well
defined property documented in phy.txt which any PHY is free to
implement.
