Do you mean notifier_chains ?
When we have multiple instances of USB PHYs then notifier chains are not
of much help. For any platform glue or PHY driver it will be very difficult to
figure out if notification received for speed was for same phy/bus or a
different one.
Using PHY callbacks looked more elegant to me. Additionally PHY drivers
can also use this info decide power management policy e.g. if speed is
INVALID then it means PHY is not in a session and it can enter deepest
low power state.
Additionally if you prefer set_speed name over notify_speed then I am
ok with that as well so that it sounds more generic.
