it would look a bit better if you provided a to_phy() macro. Specially
since this container_of() repeats multiple times in this file.

I would rather:

if (WARN(IS_ERR(phy), "invalid parameter\n"))
	return;

module_put(phy->ops->owner);
put_device(&phy->dev);

that way we can catch users passing bogus pointers here. When PHY layer
is disabled, you want to make this is no-op with a static inline in a
header anyway.

so you get a PHY and just return it ? What gives ?? (maybe I skipped
some of the discussion...)

alright, so of_xlate() is optional, am I right ? How about not
implementing the above and have a check for of_xlate() being a valid
pointer here ?

I'd call this a WARN() or am I too pedantic? :-p

likewise here.

why don't you setup the class on module_init ? Then this would be a
terrible error condition here :-)

you could expose a human-readable 'type' string. BTW, how are you using
type ? USB2/USB3/etc ? Have you considered our OMAP5 SerDes pair which
are currently for USB3 and SATA (and could just as easily be used for
PCIe)

how about dev_vdbg() ? I doubt anyone will be waiting for this
message... Just a thought

Weird.. if you initialize the class here, why do you need to initialize
it during phy_create() ?

What's going on ? Also, module_init() will only be called once, why this
if (phy_class) check ?
