Hmm, no need to check return value here ? Also it looks a bit unexpected to

I purposely dint check the return values in order to support platforms
that don’t enable pm_runtime.

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.
Indeed. I think it can be used.

possibly have runtime_resume callback of a PHY device called before ops->init()
call ? It seems a bit unclear what the purpose of init() callback is.

Not really. Anything that is used to initialize the PHY (internal
configuration) can go in phy_init. Usually in runtime_resume callback,
optional functional clocks are enabled and also in some cases context
restore is done. So it really makes sense to enable clocks/module
(pm_runtime_get_sync) before doing a PHY configuration (phy_init).

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

Do phy_init/phy_exit need to be mandatory ? What if there is really

No. phy_init/phy_exit is not mandatory at all.
nothing to do in those callbacks ? Perhaps -ENOIOCTLCMD should be
returned if a callback is not implemented, so PHY users can recognize
such situation and proceed ?

So currently these APIs return -EINVAL if these callbacks are not
populated which is good enough IMHO.

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

hmm.. could be..

Thanks
