No, I don't like this all. You did the one thing I tried to avoid while
posting my quick-and-dirty phy driver recently: You duplicated a lot of
code which can be served by the nop driver and added only power
on/power off callbacks.

I assumed you had also the OTG callbacks (set host/device mode) and
wake up but I don't see it there.
Adding a power regulator would do the same job, wouldn't it? If the phy
driver remains just doing power on/off I suggest simply adding a power
regulator. If it will do more I would move the am35xx specific bits
into a separate file and glue it to the nop driver.

What else? The abstraction in device tree is wrong. It remains wrong if
add stuff on top to it.
We need two nodes each one with a glue layer and a musb child node. The
instances crap in kernel has to vanish. Also that means your phy nodes
are wrong. This is not musb with two ports but two musb instances each
with one port.
