Drop the limitation of a single PCS in pcs-handle property. Multiple PCS can be defined for an ethrnet-controller node to support various PHY

interface mode type. It's very common for SoCs to have a 2 or more dedicated PCS for Base-X (for example SGMII, 1000base-x, 2500base-x, ...) and Base-R (for example USXGMII,10base-r, ...) with the MAC selecting one of the other based on the attached PHY.
I'm confused what you need. The restriction was no arg cells allowed. Any number of phandles was allowed. The former would need a "#pcs-handle-cells" type property.
