Then I guess this should be called conditionally and any errors returned
if runtime PM is enabled ? Not sure if pm_runtime_enabled() would be
helpful such situation.

OK, that makes sense. All PHY device resources must be prepared anyway
before a PHY object is registered with the PHY core.

But -EINVAL could be well returned from the callback function. Perhaps
ENOTSUPP could be used instead ?
