Well simply, if I understood you correctly, you have some
register where some bits control emac #0 and some control
emac #1.  This register can't belong to either of those
devices because it can't belong to both, so it has to
belong to some "control" / "power management" / whatever
device.

Yes.

You still need to describe that register somewhere in the
device tree.
