I am fine with keeping it in bgx_init_phy(), however we can drop there 
#ifdefs since both of bgx_init_{acpi,of}_phy calls have empty stub for 
!ACPI and !OF case. Like that:

static int bgx_init_phy(struct bgx *bgx)
{

        if (!acpi_disabled)
                return bgx_init_acpi_phy(bgx);
	else
        	return bgx_init_of_phy(bgx);
}
