Good to see you found a way to do this!

Needs an update again ;-)

You could use the for_each_set_bit(i, priv->valid_ports, MAX_PORTS) loop macro.

Another candidate for FIELD_PREP()

You could use #define-s for the GENMASK() field masks too, similar to PHY_CTRL_*. That
would make what you're setting a bit clearer, compared to these literal values.

Nit: You're also setting all-one values, so GENMASK(19, 15) and GENMASK(14, 3) by
themselves are sufficient. E.g. PHY_CTRL_NO_PAGE_PARK and PHY_CTRL_NO_PAGE_SELECT.

In your next patch you use 'status = "disabled"' for the base dtsi. You may want to use
fwnode_for_each_available_child_node() in that case, so unused busses are not probed.
