These names reflect the hardware; which is the aim of DT.

As I believe you pointed out earlier it is preferred to use named
interrupts when there is more than one. Do I misunderstand the situation
there?

If you have a positive contribution to make regarding better names then
I am all ears.

Thanks for pointing that out. It looks like I should remove phy-reset-gpio.
