I think the offset information can come from the devicetree too. The phy can be
modeled something like below.

		usb-phys@c0000000 {
			compatible = "amlogic,meson-gxbb-usb2-phy";
			reg = <0x0 0xc0000000 0x0 0x40>;
			#address-cells = <2>;
			#size-cells = <2>;
			ranges = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0xc0000000 0x0 0x40>;
			resets = <&reset 34>;

			usb0_phy: usb_phy@0 {
				#phy-cells = <0>;
				reg = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0x20>;
				clocks = <&clkc CLKID_USB &clkc CLKID_USB0>;
				clock-names = "usb_general", "usb";
				status = "disabled";
			};

			usb1_phy: usb_phy@20 {
				#phy-cells = <0>;
				reg = <0x0 0x20 0x0 0x20>;
				clocks = <&clkc CLKID_USB &clkc CLKID_USB1>;
				clock-names = "usb_general", "usb";
				status = "disabled";
			};
		};

This way the driver will be probed only once (the reset can be done during
probe). The phy driver should scan the dt node and for every sub-node it
invokes phy_create?

Thanks
