Hi Angelo,

This is a hardware property that is not dynamic, so IMHO it doesn't make sense
to use phy argument for that. Some driver already use a 'phy-type'
property (such as phy-cadence-torrent.yaml).

I was thinking of using phy argument on future upgrade when driver will
support D-PHY and C-PHY modes so the phy user will be able to choose the
mode.

Does it makes sense?

Best
