[PATCH 10/21] net: phy: add X-Powers AC200 EPHY control driver

The ability to put the ID in DT is there for two reasons:

1) You cannot enumerate the PHY because of missing clocks etc.
2) The vendor messed up, and did not put a valid ID in registers 2 and 3.

2 does not happen very often, but this is one example. They are
different PHYs, they need different driver code, when you consider the
PHY as a whole.

I also wound not put in an arbitrary ID, pick an unused ID in the
vendors range.

No they don't. There are extra registers in different address domains.
