IMO we need not have wrapper APIs for runtime_enable and runtime_disable 
here. Generally runtime_enable and runtime_disable is done in probe and 
remove of a driver respectively. So it's better to leave the 
runtime_enable/runtime_disable to be done in *phy provider* driver than 
having an API for it to be done by *phy user* driver. Felipe, what do 
you think?
