    If it is the same hardware block, it seems incorrect to have two
    different compat entries. For example, for PCIe RC vs PCIe EP we
    specify the PHY mode from the host controller driver.
    I'd say, we need to fix the bindings for both DP/eDP controller and
    the PHY. See the `phy-mode` DT property for example.
