What I meant is, the type should be something that qualifies the phy
ip. For example, USB_PHY_TYPE_USB2 specifies a phy that connects to a
usb2/usb3 controller to provide usb2 functionality. If a specific type
of phy can't be qualified with a type (which ideally shouldn't be the
case), UNDEFINED can be used.

Thanks
