OK, sorry I was not clear on this. I'm thinking the same, that this is
something that is called later, for example when the controller is
ready. Some ULPI phys need to be initialized, but since the controller
provides the interface, it's usually not possible during init time.
This hook could be used in that case as well.

All I'm saying is that "tune" is a poor expression. You will need to
add a comment explaining what the hook does in any case, so you'll
have something like "this is something that is called when the
controller is ready" or something similar. That will make it clear
what it's meant for.

Thanks,
