Yup. Both USB PHY and EHCI controller registers really are interleaved
in one range.

Some registers in the USB1 register range actually are "global" and
relevant to all USB controllers. So:

There are two 2-cell entries in that reg property. The first entry
defines the registers for this USB PHY, and hence is unique for each USB
PHY node. The second defines the registers for whichever USB PHY
contains various shared registers across multiple PHYs, so is expected
to be identical across all USB PHY DT nodes.

Yes, the HW design really is this screwy.

No; the driver knows that the HW is screwy and there's lots of
register-range sharing going on, so it simply maps the registers, rather
than reserving the physical address range and mapping it.
