A very nice idea BUT there is a very strong pressure from DT guys
to avoid adding any bit fields/offsets/masks in DT nodes.
Hopefully, as long as driver name starts with "exynos-" prefix
one can hide SoCs specific tricks deep inside driver code.
The idea behind this driver was not to create a generic phy for 1-bit
devices but rather to hide SoC-specific issues from client drivers
like DRM-HDMI.

Ok. I will try to use it in PATCHv3.
