Unfortunately, it's not so straighforward. Phy is actually accessed through
I2C implemented in HDMI controller. Second memory region in this case has
small influence on phy. However, it has big influence on controller. For
example, magic number has to be written in one register in second memory
region in order to unlock read access to any register from first memory region
(controller). However, they shouldn't be merged to one region, because first
memory region requires byte access while second memory region can be accessed
per byte or word.

To complicate things more, later I want to add support for another SoC which
has same glue layer (unlocking read access, etc.) and uses memory mapped phy
registers in second memory region.

I think current binding is the least complicated way to represent this.

right.
