This is exactly how new style devices work, like allwinner case below.

  arch/arm/boot/dts/sun4i-a10-a1000.dts
  drivers/net/ethernet/allwinner/sun4i-emac.c

Let's take a look at ksz9021_config_init().

	if (!of_node && dev->parent->of_node)
		of_node = dev->parent->of_node;

It's a stepping back in case that the phy device has no of_node
attached.  So for phy devices that are initiated from device tree like
allwinner case above, they will just work in the sane way.
