SmartCard controller uses this interface to communicate with
SmartCard via PHY

Some SmartCard PHY has multiple slots for cards.
This inerface also enables controller to communicate
with one or more SmartCard connected over phy.

interface structure includes following APIs
- set/get config
- activate/deactivate smart card
- warm reset
- register_notify (for card insert/remove/overheat)
- unregister_notify

These are .h files, but where is the "api" functions that use
these structures defined at?

This is like template/wrappers, smart card phy driver will write API functions. And smartcard controller will call these functions. With proposed approach, smartcard controller can communicate with any smart card phy (TI/NxP) without change in code. Using DT entry smartcard and PHY will gets connected with each other.
Refer diagram given @Documentation/sc_phy.txt.


confused,
