That would make sense, however, it does not work, probably because:
arch/powerpc/kernel/of_platform.c:

 32 /*
 33  * The list of OF IDs below is used for matching bus types in the
 34  * system whose devices are to be exposed as of_platform_devices.
 35  *
 36  * This is the default list valid for most platforms. This file provides
 37  * functions who can take an explicit list if necessary though
 38  *
 39  * The search is always performed recursively looking for children of
 40  * the provided device_node and recursively if such a children matches
 41  * a bus type in the list
 42  */
 43 
 44 static struct of_device_id of_default_bus_ids[] = {
 45         { .type = "soc", },
 46         { .compatible = "soc", },
 47         { .type = "spider", },
 48         { .type = "axon", },
 49         { .type = "plb5", },
 50         { .type = "plb4", },
 51         { .type = "opb", },
 52         { .type = "ebc", },
 53         {},
 54 };


Suggestions?
BTW. phy's are also not on chip, but are usualy listed under "soc"
(ie. mpc885ads.dts). Or rtc chip connected to i2c in kuroboxHD.dts.
