I'm glad you like it.

I'm not disagreeing, but that will have to be a battle for
another day. Currently the dt-bindings for phy actually
make phy-names mandatory at the bindings-description level, so
someone would first need to change the specification.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/phy/phy-bindings.txt:

"""
PHY user node
=============

Required Properties:
phys : the phandle for the PHY device (used by the PHY subsystem)
phy-names : the names of the PHY corresponding to the PHYs present in the
             *phys* phandle
"""
