Hi,

It was never intended to be called from other drivers. What's up with
the wrapper of of_phy_get, phy_get()/devm_phy_get()? Why isn't that
enough?
Implementing support for multiple phys in the ehci driver is a bit tricky.
Especially when we want to do it right. Please have a look at this part of
the dts file:
+ ehci@12580000 {
+ compatible = "samsung,exynos4210-ehci";
+ reg = <0x12580000 0x20000>;
+ interrupts = <0 70 0>;
+ clocks = <&clock 304>, <&clock 305>;
+ clock-names = "usbhost", "otg";
+ status = "disabled";
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+ port@0 {
+ reg = <0>;
+ phys = <&usb2phy 1>;
+ phy-names = "host";
+ status = "disabled";
+ };
+ port@1 {
+ reg = <1>;
+ phys = <&usb2phy 2>;
+ phy-names = "hsic0";
+ status = "disabled";
+ };
+ port@2 {
+ reg = <2>;
+ phys = <&usb2phy 3>;
+ phy-names = "hsic1";
+ status = "disabled";
+ };
+ };
With the above we have a clear specification of ports and their respective
phys. But to do this properly the ehci driver has to iterate over port
nodes. It is much easier to use devm_of_phy_get by giving the node as its
argument.
I see. There are a couple of more things we do in the wrapper that gets
missed while exporting of_phy_get (get_device and try_module_get). You
might want to re-work that one.
Thanks
