Yes True. I posted it for completeness.

The whole idea of writing a seperate phy driver was to use the generic phy framework
and most of the amxxxx devices have the same phy (eg am335x, am437x).
Now since the register is shared in am335x for phy_wkup (Not in the case of am437x)
how are you planning to  map it. I feel if omap_control_usb can delegate the writes
to phy_wkup, phy_on and phy_off, it makes the life simpler.

Thoughts???
