phy: qcom: qmp-pcie: Refactor common multiphy handling

Refactors the multiphy handling to reuse port resource arrays and attach
power domains to individual PHY devices instead of the parent device. It
also validates the clock-output-names property count.

[Severity: High]
Can this code introduce a use-after-free regression during device unbind?

The qmp structure is allocated via devm_kcalloc() and tied to the parent
platform device's devres (qmp->dev) in qmp_pcie_multiphy_probe().
However, the cleanup action qmp_pcie_pd_detach() is now added to the child
PHY device's devres (pd_dev = &phy->dev).

If the parent device is unbound while a consumer holds a reference to the
PHY (e.g., via phy_get()), the parent's devres executes first and frees
the qmp array.

When the consumer later releases the PHY, the child PHY device's devres
executes, calling qmp_pcie_pd_detach() on the already freed qmp pointer.
This would lead to a use-after-free when accessing qmp->cfg->num_pds.
