A MAC driver will put its DT properties in the MAC node. A PHY will
put its DT properties in the PHY node of the MDIO bus. Since they are
in different locations, they can use the same name. So please keep
with phy-supply.

Please also update
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet-phy.yaml with these new
properties.
