I don't really see a good way to describe this hardware then. If it
was only the first case, I'd suggest marking the periphs bus node
as "compatible="simple-bus","syscon";" so you could have a
reference to it, but that doesn't seem to work well in the second
case, unless you can a separate DT node just for the PHY config
registers there.
With the third case, is there any logic at all behind the
register map?
Maybe someone else has a better idea for how to describe this.
In general, we try to avoid overlapping "reg" properties, but I
even see that the "periphs" node on gxbb has a "reg" property
(is this intentional) that overlaps with the registers in its
ranges, so adding another one won't make this worse than it
already is.
