"The node that uses phy must specify whether it should be configured as
host or device in the second cell of phy specification."

By the way, can we use not integers but symbolic constants for host and
device mode?

There is no issue of compatibility as existing mappings would only use 1
phy and we'll pick it up when getting phy by index. I think we should
simply drop phy-names altogether as driver does not use this property
anymore.
