However, PHY module provides only init/on/off callbacks. As you may know, HDMIPHY needs i2c interfaces to control HDMIPHY clock. So with PHY module, HDMIPHY driver could enable PMU more generically, but also has to use existing i2c stuff to control HDMIPHY clock. I had a quick review to Generic PHY Framework[v6] but I didn't see that the PHY module could generically support more features such as i2c stuff.
