Firstly, I have no idea what "mtcmos" means, sorry. I am a dt-bindings
guy, not someone familiar with mediatek hardware.
Secondly, it sounds like this /does/ have a power domain, so it should
be in the binding. That it is turned on by something else and must
remain on doesn't mean it shouldn't be documented here. What if those
things try to turn it off while the tphy is using it?
