Well prior to your code, there was already a possibility for both
ci->phy and ci->usb_phy to be valid. I don't think it's really useful
to avoid the fallback when a generic PHY has already been found, it's
confusing. If really you want to clarify that, it should be:

	/* Let's first try to find a generic PHY */
	ci->phy = devm_phy_get(dev->parent, "usb-phy");
	if (IS_ERR(ci->phy)) {
		/* Fall back to legacy USB PHY */
		ci->usb_phy = devm_usb_get_phy_by_phandle(dev->parent, "phys", 0);
		if (IS_ERR(ci->usb_phy))
			ci->usb_phy = devm_usb_get_phy(dev->parent, USB_PHY_TYPE_USB2);
	}

With that, you would only have either ci->phy or ci->usb_phy be valid,
and never both. With  your change, you can have ci->phy and ci->usb_phy
both be valid if the legacy USB PHY was found using
devm_usb_get_phy_by_phandle(), but not if we fell back to
devm_usb_get_phy().

Up to the maintainer I'd say. I don't have any preference here.
