The pcie phy control bits are sitting in a general (and shared) soc-control 
register inside the "General Register Files" (shared for example with some i2s 
control bits). As written in a previous version of this binding, my feeling is 
that a register range suggests some sort of exclusivity of the area (like the 
rk3399 emmc phy occupying a real subset of GRF area), but the pcie phy doesn't
have this.
