So I've used this API for the Exynos SoC MIPI CSI-2 and MIPI DSI DPHYs. I could remove all the local modifications, comparing to your v5, since this iteration already have what's needed, thanks! In my case the PHY provider was a platform device and so were the PHY consumer devices. Those PHYs are very simple, there is less than one register per PHY (some bits are shared across the MIPI CSI-2 receiver and MIPI DSI transmitter DPHYs), but having this generic PHY driver means, among others, there is a proper DT support. I could finally get rid of the the platform callback at arch/arm/plat-samsung/setup-mipiphy.c. I found this code useful as is, except previous minor comments I don't really have more remarks now. This API looks quite good, and it seems much lighter comparing to the original version. I assume, the way it is designed now, allows it to be used also with PHYs that hang off other buses, e.g. I2C. It would be nice to get this in 3.11. Hmm, actually I have some doubts, let me comment in other e-mail..
