+PHY device node
+===============
+
+Required Properties:
+#phy-cells: Number of cells in a PHY specifier; The meaning of all those
+ cells is defined by the binding for the phy node. The PHY
+ provider can use the values in cells to find the appropriate
+ PHY.
+
+For example:
+
+phys: phy {
+ compatible = "xxx";
+ reg =<...>;
+ .
+ .
+ #phy-cells =<1>;
+ .
+ .
+};
+
+That node describes an IP block that implements 2 different PHYs. In order to
+differentiate between these 2 PHYs, an additonal specifier should be given
+while trying to get a reference to it.
+
+PHY user node
+=============
+
+Required Properties:
+phys : the phandle for the PHY device (used by the PHY subsystem)
+
+Optional properties:
+phy-names : the names of the PHY corresponding to the PHYs present in the
+ *phys* phandle
+
+Example 1:
+usb1: usb_otg_ss@xxx {
+ compatible = "xxx";
+ reg =<xxx>;
+ .
+ .
+ phys =<&usb2_phy>,<&usb3_phy>;
+ phy-names = "usb2phy", "usb3phy";
+ .
+ .
+};
+
+This node represents a controller that uses two PHYs one for usb2 and one for

+usb2: usb_otg_ss@xxx {
+ compatible = "xxx";
+ reg =<xxx>;

+ phys =<&phys 1>;
+ .

+
+This node represents a controller that uses one of the PHYs which is defined

+ PHY SUBSYSTEM
+ Kishon Vijay Abraham I<kis...@ti.com>
+
+This document explains the Generic PHY Framework along with the APIs provided,
+and how-to-use.
+
+1. Introduction
+
+*PHY* is the abbreviation for physical layer. It is used to connect a device
+to the physical medium e.g., the USB controller has a PHY to provide functions
Shouldn't it be "...medium, e.g. the USB..." ?
+such as serialization, de-serialization, encoding, decoding and is responsible
+for obtaining the required data transmission rate. Note that some USB
+controller has PHY functionality embedded into it and others use an external
"controllers have PHY functionality embedded into them" ?
+PHY. Other peripherals that uses a PHY include Wireless LAN, Ethernet,
s/uses/use ?
+SATA etc.
+
+The intention of creating this framework is to bring the phy drivers spread
+all over the Linux kernel to drivers/phy to increase code re-use and to
+increase code maintainability.
+
+This framework will be of use only to devices that uses external PHY (PHY
s/uses/use ?
+functionality is not embedded within the controller).
+
+2. Creating the PHY
+
+The PHY driver should create the PHY in order for other peripheral controllers
+to make use of it. The PHY framework provides 2 APIs to create the PHY.
+
+struct phy *phy_create(struct device *dev, const char *label,
+ struct device_node *of_node, int type, struct phy_ops *ops,
+ void *priv);
+struct phy *devm_phy_create(struct device *dev, const char *label,
+ struct device_node *of_node, int type, struct phy_ops *ops,
+ void *priv);
+
+The PHY drivers can use one of the above 2 APIs to create the PHY by passing
+the device pointer, label, device node, type, phy ops and a driver data.
+phy_ops is a set of function pointers for performing PHY operations such as
+init, exit, suspend, resume, power_on and power_off.
+
+3. Binding the PHY to the controller
+
+The framework provides an API for binding the controller to the PHY in the
+case of non dt boot.
+
+struct phy_bind *phy_bind(const char *dev_name, int index,
+ const char *phy_dev_name);
+
+The API fills the phy_bind structure with the dev_name (device name of the
+controller), index and phy_dev_name (device name of the PHY). This will
+be used when the controller requests this phy. This API should be used by
+platform specific initialization code (board file).
+
+In the case of dt boot, the binding information should be added in the dt
+data of the controller.
s/in the dt data of/in the device tree node of ?
+4. Getting a reference to the PHY
+
+Before the controller can make use of the PHY, it has to get a reference to
+it. This framework provides 6 APIs to get a reference to the PHY.
+
+struct phy *phy_get(struct device *dev, int index);
+struct phy *devm_phy_get(struct device *dev, int index);
+struct phy *of_phy_get(struct device *dev, const char *phandle, int index);
+struct phy *devm_of_phy_get(struct device *dev, const char *phandle, int
index);
Why do we need separate functions for dt and non-dt ? Couldn't it be handled
internally by the framework ? So the PHY users can use same calls for dt
and non-dt, like in case of e.g. the regulators API ?
Also signatures of some functions are different now:
extern struct phy *phy_get(struct device *dev, int index);
extern struct phy *devm_phy_get(struct device *dev, int index);
extern struct phy *of_phy_get(struct device *dev, int index);
extern struct phy *devm_of_phy_get(struct device *dev, int index);
BTW, I think "extern" could be dropped, does it have any significance in
function declarations in header files ?
+struct phy *of_phy_get_byname(struct device *dev, const char *string);
+struct phy *devm_of_phy_get_byname(struct device *dev, const char *string);
+
+phy_get and devm_phy_get can be used to get the PHY in non-dt boot. This API
+uses the binding information added using the phy_bind API to find and return
+the appropriate PHY. The only difference between the two APIs is that
+devm_phy_get associates the device with the PHY using devres on successful PHY
+get. On driver detach, release function is invoked on the the devres data and
s/the the/the
+devres data is freed.
+
+of_phy_get and devm_of_phy_get can be used to get the PHY in dt boot. These
+APIs take the phandle and index to get a reference to the PHY. The only
+difference between the two APIs is that devm_of_phy_get associates the device
+with the PHY using devres on successful phy get. On driver detach, release
+function is invoked on the devres data and it is freed.
+
+of_phy_get_byname and devm_of_phy_get_byname can also be used to get the PHY
+in dt boot. It is same as the above API except that the user has to pass the
+phy name as filled in "phy-names" phandle in dt data and the framework will
s/phandle/property ?
+find the index and get the PHY.
+
+5. Releasing a reference to the PHY
+
+When the controller no longer needs the PHY, it has to release the reference
+to the PHY it has obtained using the APIs mentioned in the above section. The
+PHY framework provides 2 APIS to release a reference to the PHY.
s/APIS/APIs ?
+
+void phy_put(struct phy *phy);
+void devm_phy_put(struct device *dev, struct phy *phy);
+
+Both these APIs are used to release a reference to the PHY and devm_phy_put
+destroys the devres associated with this PHY.
+
+6. Destroying the PHY
+
+When the driver that created the PHY is unloaded, it should destroy the PHY it
+created using one of the following 2 APIs.
+
+void phy_destroy(struct phy *phy);
+void devm_phy_destroy(struct device *dev, struct phy *phy);
+
+Both these APIs destroys the PHY and devm_phy_destroy destroys the devres
s/APIs destroys/APIs destroy ?
+associated with this PHY.
+
+7. DeviceTree Binding

There is currently nothing preventing a call to this function before
phy_class is initialized. It happened during my tests, and the nice
stack dump showed that it was the PHY user attempting to get the PHY
before the framework got initialized. So either phy_core_init should
be a subsys_initcall or we need a better protection against phy_class

OK, a sort of serious issue here is that you can't call phy_create()
multiple times for same PHY provider device.
device_add() further will fail as sysfs won't let you create multiple
objects with same name. So I would assume we need to add a new argument
to phy_create() or rename @type to e.g. @phy_id, which could be
concatenated with dev_name(dev) to create a unique name of the phy
device.
And how is the PHY provider supposed to identify a PHY in its common PHY
ops, now when the struct phy port field is removed ? I have temporarily
(ab)used the type field in order to select proper registers within the
phy ops.

What about duplicating the string here ? That would make the API a bit
more convenient and the callers wouldn't be required to keep all the
labels around.
