Yes, they could. The PCIe and SATA PHYs could as well. I haven't
included them because they currently don't take any properties. In
addition to that, perhaps some of the nvidia,hsic-* properties could be
moved into the PHY nodes, too. But they're also properties of the pin,
so keeping them in the pinmux nodes seems fine as well.

On a slightly different topic, I've been trying to wrap my head around
the use of the nvidia,port property and my conclusion was that in fact
one of the physical ports is shared between USB2 and USB3. That is the
utmi-2 PHY and usb3-0 PHY go to the very same port. The vbus-supply
specified in the Jetson TK1 DTS would support that (it's associated with
utmi-2 but named vdd_usb3_reg, and the USB3 port doesn't work without
it). Can you confirm that?
