Phandle to a regulator that provides power to the PHY. This
regulator will be managed during the PHY power on/off sequence.

Maybe this entire regulator business should be separate series from the 
MP13 DWMAC ethernet series ?

This is for which PHY? The serdes phy or ethernet phy? This only makes 
sense here if the phy is part of the MAC. Otherwise, it belongs in the 
phy node.

I prefer push it with MP13 Ethernet series if possible.

You are right, normally it should be managed in Ethernet PHY (Realtek, 
Microchip etc...)

Lots of glue manage this like this. Does it forbidden now ? if yes need 
to update PHY driver to manage this property.

This is separate functionality, independent of the MP13 support and not 
required for the MP13 support, correct ?

If yes, move it into separate patch(set) to make both series easier to 
review.

If the regulator is connected to the PHY, then the supply should be 
described in the PHY node and you wouldn't even need these PHY patches 
(also see my comment that you should split the PHY regulator part of 
this patchset into separate series).
