The phy-mvebu-a3700-utmi.c does use it, and does document it:

  marvell,usb-misc-reg:
    description:
      Phandle on the "USB miscellaneous registers" shared region
      covering registers related to both the host controller and
      the PHY.
    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/phandle

And the patch which added the property to the USB nodes also added the
PHY nodes.

    arm64: dts: marvell: armada-37xx: declare USB2 UTMI PHYs

So this change does look correct.
