I mean the port numbers currently mean absolutely nothing with 
standalone PHYs so in that sense I agree.

OTOH since the numbers mean nothing - they should probably be linear, 
it's just confusing to have non-linear port numbering.

For legacy PHYs numbering ports after the PHYs is something we inherited 
and worked with. For the new scheme it serves no purpose.
