Phase and neutral? What is this, a power plug?
Since SGMII uses differential signaling, I wonder if this isn't about
the polarity of the TX lane (which pin carries the Positive signal and
which the Negative one).

I think there is room for a more general device tree property name than
"mediatek,pn_swap". The Designware XPCS also supports this, see
DW_VR_MII_DIG_CTRL2_TX_POL_INV and the comments in
nxp_sja1105_sgmii_pma_config().
