we will be creating a generic (kernel-wide) phy layer, so I guess that
matters very little. Specially since we don't want to be differentiating
PHYs by their subsystem and rather by the IP name (which means
phy-tegra, phy-samsung, phy-omap, are all 'wrong', but there were no
better names).

BTW, let's stop with the whole dependency between PHY driver cleanup and
arch/arm/mach-tegra/, too many patches have gone upstream bypassing my
tree. What we should be doing is figuring out how to remove arch/
dependencies so that patches can go upstream and not cause conflicts.
