Describe the SGMII/SerDes PHY present on the Qualcomm sa8255p platforms.
This is essentially the same hardware as sa8775p rev3 but the PHY is
managed by firmware over SCMI.

dt-bindings: phy: document the serdes PHY on sa8255p

This patch adds a YAML binding describing the SGMII/SerDes PHY present on
Qualcomm sa8255p platforms, where the same hardware as on sa8775p rev3 is
managed by firmware over SCMI.

[Low]
This isn't a bug, but would it be worth tightening the power-domain-names
schema to constrain the actual string value, along the lines of:

  power-domain-names:
    items:
      - const: serdes

As written, only the number of entries is constrained and any arbitrary
string would pass validation, whereas the example uses "serdes":

    power-domains = <&scmi7_dvfs 0>;
    power-domain-names = "serdes";

Would matching the example with a const also help keep naming consistent
across DTs using this binding?
