the PHY provider.
Please correct me if I got you wrong. You want somthing like this:
pmu_system_controller: system-controller@10040000 { ... simple_phys: simple-phys { compatible = "samsung,exynos5420-simple-phy"; ... }; };
Not exactly.
What I meant is that the PMU node itself should be the PHY provider, e.g.
pmu_system_controller: system-controller@10040000 { /* ... */ #phy-cells = <1>; };
and then the PMU node should instantiate the Exynos simple PHY driver, as this is a driver for a facility existing entirely inside of the PMU. Moreover, the driver should be rather called Exynos PMU PHY.
I know this isn't really possible at the moment, but with device tree we must design things carefully, so it's better to take a bit more time and do things properly.
So my opinion on this is that there should be a central Exynos PMU driver that claims the IO region and instantiates necessary subdrivers, such as Exynos PMU PHY driver, Exynos CLKOUT driver, Exynos cpuidle driver and more, similar to what is being done in drivers/mfd.
Hi Tomasz,
These PHYs are not part of PMU as such. I am not sure if it is correct to probe them as phy provider for all these phys. Only relation of these phys with the PMU is 'enable/disable control'. Controlling this bit using regmap interface still looks better to me.
IMHO Ideal method would be probing these PHYs independently and resolving the necessary dependencies like syscon handle, clocks etc. This way we will not be having any common phy provider for all these independent PHYs and it would be clean to add each of these phy nodes in DT. Please see my original comment below.

Now, there is already ongoing effort to convert current freestanding PMU configuration code in mach-exynos into a full-fledged PMU driver, but not exactly in the same direction as I stated above. I'll try to cooperate with Pankaj, who is responsible for this work to make this go into the right track.
