FSD PCIe has 2 instances of PHY. Both are the same HW Samsung
PHYs (Therefore share the same register offsets). But the PHY used here
does not support auto adaptation so we need to tune the PHYs
according to the use case (considering channel loss, etc). This is why we
have 2 different SW PHY initialization sequence depending on the instance
number. Do you think having different compatible (something like
tesla,fsd-pcie-phy0 and tesla,fsd-pcie-phy1) and having phy ID as platform data
is okay in this case? I actually took reference from files like:
drivers/usb/phy/phy-am335x-control.c
drivers/phy/freescale/phy-fsl-imx8-mipi-dphy.c
who use alias to differentiate between register offsets for instances.

Will update. Thanks for the review!
