I'll move it to the other bitflags as suggested - thanks for pointing this out!

just to save you from reviewing this over and over again:
- I'll move the skip_phy_initialization field below remove_phy
- it's new definition will be "unsigned skip_phy_initialization:1"
- do you see any issues with the rest of the patch (the "concept" of
using a flag to skip all kinds of PHY initialization)?
