* drivers: phy: Add support for optional physAndrew Lunn2014-02-051-7/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add devm_phy_optional_get and phy_optional_get, which should be used when the phy is optional. They does not return an error when the phy does not exist, rather they returns NULL, which is considered as a valid phy, but results in NOPs when used with the consumer API.

* drivers: phy: Make NULL a valid phy referenceAndrew Lunn2014-02-051-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The common clock framework considers NULL a valid clock reference. This makes handling optional clocks simple, in that if the optional clock is not available, a NULL reference can be used in the place of a real clock, simplifying the clock consumer. Extend this concept to the phy consumer API. A NULL can be passed to the release calls, the phy_init() and phy_exit() calls, and phy_power_on() and phy_power_off() and a NOP is performed.

* drivers: phy: add generic PHY frameworkKishon Vijay Abraham I2013-09-271-0/+166
The PHY framework provides a set of APIs for the PHY drivers to create/destroy a PHY and APIs for the PHY users to obtain a reference to the PHY with or without using phandle. For dt-boot, the PHY drivers should also register *PHY provider* with the framework. PHY drivers should create the PHY by passing id and ops like init, exit, power_on and power_off. This framework is also pm runtime enabled. The documentation for the generic PHY framework is added in Documentation/phy.txt and the documentation for dt binding can be found at Documentation/devicetree/bindings/phy/phy-bindings.txt Cc: Tomasz Figa <t.figa@samsung.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Kishon Vijay Abraham I <kishon@ti.com> Acked-by: Felipe Balbi <balbi@ti.com> Tested-by: Sylwester Nawrocki <s.nawrocki@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
