Hi Russell

Missed that. Sorry.

What happens in the DT world is that ge clock is a child of the gephy
clock, so that when you enable the ge clock, it walks up towards the
parent and enables the gephy clock.

I don't see anything like this in the legacy Dove world. Are you just
relying on the bootloader turning on the phy and nothing turning it
off?
