Actually we define the compatible for 'device' no?. Here the same IP is
configured differently as different devices in SoCs.

Anyway phyA and phyB points to different nodes and just from phyA and phyB we
should be able to tell whether it is sata or pcie.

We can just have a property in phyA to specify it is SATA and phyB to specify
it is PCIE.
phyA {
	compatible="phy-pipe3";
	.
	.
	type=<SATA>;
}
phyB {
	compatible="phy-pipe3";
	.
	.
	type=<PCIE>;
}
Then in probe
	of_property_read_u32(node, "type", &pipe3->type);

In phy_init function we can follow different path for SATA and PCIE using the type

static int pipe3_init(struct phy *x) {
	struct pipe3 *phy = phy_get_drvdata(x);

	switch (phy->type) {
	case SATA:
		/* do sata phy initialization here*/
		break;
	case PCIE:
		/* do pcie phy initialization here*/
		break;
	default:
		dev_err(phy->dev, "phy type not supported\n");
	}

	return 0;
}
