Not necessarily. DSA drivers do have access to the phydev structure.

I think putting these members into a structure is a good idea. That
structure can be part of phy_driver and initialised just like other
members. But on probing the phy, it can be copied over to the
phy_device structure. And we can provide an API which DSA drivers can
use to register there own structure of ops to be placed into
phy_device, which would call into the DSA driver.
