This might be a dumb question, but, is the external phy actually
optional? Or is it mandatory for certain implementations of the IP.
In the latter case, it should probably be a mandatory property depending
on the compatible string matching an implementation that requires an
external phy (accordingly, the implementation might have to treat it
that way too).
