Seriously?! I really dislike what you did there.

NACK.

You are aware this block is common for both: Northstar and Northstar Plus and
we already have phy-bcm-ns-usb3.c! In fact Jon told me to rewrite my initial
driver to make is possible to reuse it on NSP and I did that!

This is old comment from Jon:

Please start using existing code instead of inventing everything from the
scratch internally at Broadcom. You did the same thing with (Q)SPI driver.


This driver duplicates phy-bcm-ns-usb3.c and should have not been accepted. I
strongly suggest *reverting* it and adjusting existing driver if needed.
