Yes, DPHY tx module is a different driver to the DPHY rx. And I have do a
different bit in PATCH 1:

#define JH7110_PD_DPHY_TX	0
#define JH7110_PD_DPHY_RX	1

also in PATCH 5:

static const struct jh71xx_domain_info jh7110_aon_power_domains[] = {
	[JH7110_PD_DPHY_TX] = {
		.name = "DPHY-TX",
		.bit = 30,
	},
	[JH7110_PD_DPHY_RX] = {
		.name = "DPHY-RX",
		.bit = 31,
	},
};

I asked about our soc colleagues. This syscon register,
offset 0x00:
bit[31] ---> dphy rx power switch
bit[30] ---> dphy tx power switch 
other bits ---> Reserved

Maybe not, this syscon only offset "0x00" configure power switch.
other offset configure other functions, maybe not power, so this
"starfive,jh7110-aon-syscon" not the power-domain itself.

Maybe this patch do that.
