RE: [PATCH 0/3] Revert "usb: phy: add usb phy notify port status API"

["Stanley Chang[昌育德]" <stanley_chang@realtek.com>]

Hi Johan and Vinod,

I modified the Realtek phy to solve this issue and only use the generic PHY.
And submitted these patches today as follows
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/20231107063518.27824-1-stanley_chang@realtek.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/20231107063518.27824-2-stanley_chang@realtek.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/20231107063518.27824-3-stanley_chang@realtek.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/20231107063518.27824-4-stanley_chang@realtek.com/

I don't think this patch is needed to revert a08799cf17c2 ("usb:phy: New usb phy notification port status API").

Thanks,
Stanley
