Thanks!!
That's very true, runtime_enable() and runtime_disable() calls are made by
*phy_provider* only. But a querry here.
Wouldn't in any case a PHY consumer might want to disable runtime_pm on PHY ?
Say, when consumer failed to suspend the PHY properly
(*put_sync(phy->dev)* fails), how much sure is the consumer about the
state of PHY ?
