The DT change above would mean that you can't operate the R40 phy in
the same way than the A64's. From what you're telling me now, this
isn't exactly what is going on: you can operate the R40 phy just like
the A64: with a single PLL instead of two. You operate in a degraded
and non-optimal mode, but it still works.

And it's exactly what the DT is already saying.
