If the intent is for those properties to be generic and used by any DT
binding that refers to a PHY node, I think you'd want to define those
properties in e.g. Documentation/devicetree/bindings/phy/phy.txt, just
like common clock/GPIO/... properties are defined in standalone common
files.

I think you want to require that DT nodes that represent PHYs have a
#phy-cells property, and that the format of the phy property be
<&phy_phandle phy_specifier*>, where #phy-cells in the referenced node
defines how many cells are part of phy_specifier*, just like (almost)
any other DT property that references another node by phandle. That way,
if a single DT node represents a HW block that implements e.g. 3 PHYs,
it can use #phy-cells = <1>, and the referencing phy property can
include a cell that indicates which of those 3 PHYs is being referenced.
