using phandle, the platform specfic intialization code (say from board file)
should have already called phy_bind with the binding information. The binding
information consists of phy's device name, phy user device name and an index.
The index is used when the same phy user binds to mulitple phys.

PHY drivers should create the PHY by passing phy_descriptor that has
describes the PHY (label, type etc..) and ops like init, exit, suspend, resume,
power_on, power_off.

The documentation for the generic PHY framework is added in
Documentation/phy.txt and the documentation for the sysfs entry is added
in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-phy and the documentation for
dt binding is can be found at
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/phy/phy-bindings.txt

+
+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
+usb3.
+
+Example 2:
+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
+previously. Note that the phy handle has an additional specifier "1" to
+differentiate between the two PHYs.

+			    PHY SUBSYSTEM
+		  Kishon Vijay Abraham I <kishon@xxxxxx>
+
+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
+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
+PHY. Other peripherals that uses a PHY include Wireless LAN, Ethernet,
+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
+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.
+
+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);
+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
+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
+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.
+
+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
+associated with this PHY.
+
+7. DeviceTree Binding
+
+The documentation for PHY dt binding can be found @
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/phy/phy-bindings.txt

it would look a bit better if you provided a to_phy() macro. Specially
since this container_of() repeats multiple times in this file.

hmm.. ok.

I would rather:

if (WARN(IS_ERR(phy), "invalid parameter\n"))
	return;

module_put(phy->ops->owner);
put_device(&phy->dev);

that way we can catch users passing bogus pointers here. When PHY layer
is disabled, you want to make this is no-op with a static inline in a
header anyway.

yeah. Have that no-op in header file.

+struct phy *of_phy_xlate(struct phy *phy, struct of_phandle_args *args)
+{
+	return phy;
+}
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(of_phy_xlate);

so you get a PHY and just return it ? What gives ?? (maybe I skipped
some of the discussion...)

hmm.. this is for the common case where the PHY provider implements only one PHY. And both phy provider and phy_instance is represented by struct phy *.

For the case where PHY provider implements multiple PHYs (here it will have a single dt node), the PHY provider will implement it's own version of of_xlate that takes *of_phandle_args* as argument and finds the appropriate PHY.

+struct phy *of_phy_get(struct device *dev, int index)
+{
+	int ret;
+	struct phy *phy = NULL;
+	struct phy_bind *phy_map = NULL;
+	struct of_phandle_args args;
+	struct device_node *node;
+
+	if (!dev->of_node) {
+		dev_dbg(dev, "device does not have a device node entry\n");
+		return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
+	}
+
+	ret = of_parse_phandle_with_args(dev->of_node, "phys", "#phy-cells",
+		index, &args);
+	if (ret) {
+		dev_dbg(dev, "failed to get phy in %s node\n",
+			dev->of_node->full_name);
+		return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV);
+	}
+
+	phy = of_phy_lookup(args.np);
+	if (IS_ERR(phy) || !try_module_get(phy->ops->owner)) {
+		phy = ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER);
+		goto err0;
+	}
+
+	phy = phy->ops->of_xlate(phy, &args);

alright, so of_xlate() is optional, am I right ? How about not

Not really. of_xlate is mandatory (it's even checked in phy_create). Either the PHY provider can implement it's own version or use the implementation above (by filling the function pointer).

implementing the above and have a check for of_xlate() being a valid
pointer here ?

Having the way it is actually mandates the PHY providers to always provide of_xlate which IMO is better since some PHY providers wont accidentally be using the default implementation.

+struct phy *phy_create(struct device *dev, const char *label,
+	struct device_node *of_node, int type, struct phy_ops *ops,
+	void *priv)
+{
+	int ret;
+	struct phy *phy;
+	struct phy_bind *phy_bind;
+	const char *devname = NULL;
+
+	if (!dev) {
+		dev_err(dev, "no device provided for PHY\n");

I'd call this a WARN() or am I too pedantic? :-p

+	if (!ops || !ops->of_xlate || !priv) {
+		dev_err(dev, "no PHY ops/PHY data provided\n");

likewise here.

hmm.. ok.

+		ret = -EINVAL;
+		goto err0;
+	}
+
+	if (!phy_class)
+		phy_core_init();

why don't you setup the class on module_init ? Then this would be a
terrible error condition here :-)

This is for the case where the PHY driver gets loaded before the PHY framework. I could have returned EPROBE_DEFER here instead I thought will have it this way.

+static struct device_attribute phy_dev_attrs[] = {
+	__ATTR(label, 0444, phy_name_show, NULL),
+	__ATTR(phy_bind, 0444, phy_bind_show, NULL),

you could expose a human-readable 'type' string. BTW, how are you using
type ? USB2/USB3/etc ? Have you considered our OMAP5 SerDes pair which

Actually not using *type* anywhere. Just used as an additional info about the PHY. It's actually not even enum. Maybe I can remove it completely.
are currently for USB3 and SATA (and could just as easily be used for
PCIe)

Yeah. Me and Balaji were planning to work on it for having a single driver to be used for all the above.

+static void phy_release(struct device *dev)
+{
+	struct phy *phy;
+
+	phy = container_of(dev, struct phy, dev);
+	dev_dbg(dev, "releasing '%s'\n", dev_name(dev));

how about dev_vdbg() ? I doubt anyone will be waiting for this
message... Just a thought

+static int phy_core_init(void)
+{
+	if (phy_class)
+		return 0;

Weird.. if you initialize the class here, why do you need to initialize
it during phy_create() ?

What's going on ? Also, module_init() will only be called once, why this
if (phy_class) check ?

er.. for the case where phy driver is loaded before this PHY framework, phy_create would have already called phy_core_init to create the phy_class. So module_init() is not needed at all since we have already created the phy_class. I think this looks a bit hacky. Either we can have EPROBE_DEFER in phy_create or have this module as subsys_initcall() like I had it before. I would actually prefer it to be subsys_initcall().

Thanks
