I believe new bindings should not use "phy-addr" properties, but
instead use a phy-handle property pointing to a phy device instead.

That's the MDIO address of the PHY. It's a bit difficult to use a phy
device as the driver uses the libphy. And that would break the platform
using it.

Or maybe you have something in mind?

I don't understand what you mean. Doesn't libphy imply using a phy_device?
What I meant was that you should be able to just call the standard
of_phy_connect() and other interfaces to deal with phylib.
