in the case of non DT boot, the phy driver is looking for "syscon" :

d_phy->regmap = syscon_regmap_lookup_by_pdevname("syscon");

if we register the syscon driver with id = 0, the actual name of the syscon
device will be "syscon.0" and the phy driver will fail to probe, because
the strncmp match in the syscon driver (syscon_match_pdevname)
will fail.

should i change the phy driver instead?

Axel.
