Hello,

just some nitpicks:

drivers/staging/greybus/gbphy.c always passes a variable named
"dev" to this macro. So I'd call the parameter "dev", too, instead of
"d". This is also a more typical name for variables of that type.

With a similar reasoning (and also to not have "d"s that are either
device or device_driver) I'd recommend "drv" here.
