Re: [PATCH v2 03/12] phy: phy-mtk-dp: Allow probing with devicetree match

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] PM Runtime on the parent device is enabled after the PHY device is created, preventing PM runtime from propagating to the parent and causing unpowered hardware accesses.
- [Medium] The DP PHY driver fails to parse and apply the `nvmem-cells` calibration data specified in the new device tree binding.
- [Low] The variable `ret` is used but not declared in `mtk_dp_phy_probe()`, causing a build failure.

phy: phy-mtk-dp: Allow probing with devicetree match

This commit adds a devicetree match to decouple the MediaTek DP PHY driver
from the DisplayPort IP driver. It implements a standalone probe path while
retaining a legacy probe function for backwards compatibility.

[Severity: Medium]
Does the new devicetree probe path need to parse and apply the nvmem-cells
calibration data?

It looks like the new DT bindings specify nvmem-cells for optimal EYE signal
pattern calibration, but the standalone probe path doesn't retrieve them,
which might leave the hardware running with sub-optimal defaults.

[Severity: High]
Will creating the PHY device before enabling PM runtime on the parent
prevent the PHY framework from propagating PM runtime to the child PHY
device?

In phy_create(), the framework checks pm_runtime_enabled(dev) on the parent
to decide whether to enable PM runtime on the newly created PHY device. Since
devm_pm_runtime_enable(dev) is called later, this check evaluates to false.

Could this lead to phy_pm_runtime_get_sync() returning -ENOTSUPP and
bypassing hardware wake-ups, resulting in unpowered register accesses?

[Severity: Low]
Is the variable ret missing a declaration here?

It appears int ret; is not declared in mtk_dp_phy_probe(), which will cause
a build failure when compiling the driver.
