I think it would be fine if you do:

compatible = "fsl,imx8mm-usbphy", "usb-nop-xceiv";

You'll have to rework the usb-nop-xceiv schema 'select' like we have to 
do for any compatible appearing in multiple schema files.

Or don't have the fallback and add "fsl,imx8mm-usbphy" to the 
phy-generic.c driver. But that should be marked for stable for at least 
some compatibility with old kernels.

For existing kernel binaries to work, you have to go with the former 
option.
