So the question would be if it helps in reuse if we do that and does it
result in a better solution than dsi code managing the phy. The
advantage of framework (like phy) is that different subsystems can use
a (phy) driver and common framework helps reduce duplicates.

Yes sure the question was not for a new phy but about the whole
msm/dsi/phy code and future for it.
