[PATCH phy-next 2/5] dt-bindings: phy: lynx-28g: add constraint on LX2162A lane indices

The SerDes 1 of LX2162A has fewer lanes than all other instances, and
strangely, their indices are not 0-3, but 4-7.

This is a best-effort constraint, since we can only impose it when using
per-SoC compatible string and per-lane OF nodes.

Patch previously submitted at:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-phy/20260114152111.625350-4-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/

Changes:
- remove redundant patternProperties: "^phy@[0-7]$": true from the
  match; having it makes no difference
- clarify that the constraint is best effort
