Your patch numbering broke Patchwork. Please do not name patches 1/2 if
2/2 is not in the same thread. Neither this patch nor "[2/2] phy:
ti-pipe3: Fix EPROBE_DEFER handling for clock resources" can be applied.

Also, wasn't v3 this? https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-phy/patch/20260515021635.13444-1-zenghongling@kylinos.cn/
shouldn't this be v4?
