Either this should refer to the header file, or specific values should
be given in the binding document.

How about something like:

- reg: a list of offset + length pairs, one for each entry in reg-names
- reg-names: should contain some of:
* "sata0" for ...
* "sata1" for ...
* "pcie0" for ...
* "pcie1" for ...

Where ... might just be "the sata port 0 registers"

I'll assume this is well-defined by some other binding.

It might just be me, but the phrase "invert the polarity {SATA,PCIe} Tx"
sounds odd. What exactly is being inverted?

Nit: missing space before '='.

Is there not a generic phy binding we can point to? It seems a bit
redundant to do this in each phy binding.

Cheers,
Mark.
