Hmm, no need to check return value here ? Also it looks a bit unexpected to 
possibly have runtime_resume callback of a PHY device called before ops->init()
call ? It seems a bit unclear what the purpose of init() callback is.

Do phy_init/phy_exit need to be mandatory ? What if there is really 
nothing to do in those callbacks ? Perhaps -ENOIOCTLCMD should be 
returned if a callback is not implemented, so PHY users can recognize 
such situation and proceed ?

Do we need to have all these runtime PM wrappers ? I guess you 
intended to avoid referencing phy->dev from the PHY consumers ?
