I don't think it would actually help us, because then we still need
to declare a local function that gets called from the board init
code. Instead of doing

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PHYLIB))
		 phy_register_fixup_for_uid(phy_id, foo_phy_fixup);

we would then do

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PHYLIB))
		foo_phy_fixup_register();

which is not much different at all.
