The second reference in the example is missing the last cell,
as you have #phy-cells = <2>.

Further, the binding for "generic-ehci" requires the name to be "usb",
not "usbp0". You should probably update that binding if you can have
multiple references to mention that.

Can you make both names "usb"? If not, we should document a common
naming scheme that the driver can use.

I am missing a 1 for the port number, will update in next patchset,

Arnd, I patched the ehci and ohci driver to accept multiple phys so they 
require different names and cannot both be "usb". That patch was 
accepted by Alen Stern but I did not update the bindings documentation.
I will send out another patch for that. Could we go with the naming 
scheme of "usb" + "p" + port number or do you have other suggestions?

I don't have a good idea, but I think it would be best if the first
phy could remain named "usb" for compatibility with the existing binding.

What is the reason for having two phys in your case? Are these
identical phy devices connected to a single controller or do they
server different purposes?

The patch was written in a way that all the existing and new drivers can
continue to use "usb" if they are using only one phy so that we remain 
compatible. The names need to be different only if more than one phy is 
specified. In such cases i don't think the first phy should be "usb" as 
it would be confusing to have
	phy-names = "usb","usbp1"
Should I run this by Alan Stern?

Yes, we have three identical phys connected to a single host controller 
and one of the phys is also connected to the device controller

I see your patch now, as 7e7a0e67f2c ("usb: ehci-platform: add support for
multiple phys per controller"), and I'm not too happy about the way you
did this.

We already concluded that there should have been a binding change
to go along with this, and that would have caught the fact that you
circumvent the API here by reading the phy names manually. That
part should never have made it into the kernel.

I think we can do this either by defining specific names for the
phy, or by changing the generic PHY binding to allow anonymous
phy references (leaving out "phy-names" entirely), and adding a
proper API for that.

> Should I run this by Alan Stern?

I've added him to Cc here. He clearly didn't know the background about
the DT binding change, and should not need to, but he may have an opinion
on what names we should use.

Ok, no problem with that, let's just make sure we come up with a
good binding for it.

Thanks Arnd, I will wait for Alan's comments before proceeding. I am 
happy to patch the ehci-platform driver to use a new api instead of 
devm_phy_get if that is the best option.

Hello Alan and Arnd

I wanted to follow up on this patch and ascertain what I would have to 
change. Please see below for my questions

Arnd, should I re patch the ehci-platform driver to avoid phy-names 
entirely? Alan, if not do you have an opinion on what the usb phy names 
should be? The current patch uses "usbp" + port number such as "usbp0" , 
"usbp1" etc

I think avoiding the phy names would be best here, but it requires a
kernel API change first, because we do not have a way to get a phy
by index as we do for other subsystems (e.g. clocks or gpios).

Arnd , there is an existing api _of_phy_get that gets a phy by index. 
However it is not exported and is called from of_phy_get which is in 
turn called from devm_of_phy_get.

My plan is to create a new function maybe devm_of_phy_get_by_index that 
calls _of_phy_get directly? What are your thoughts?

+Required Properties:
+	- compatible:  brcm,cygnus-usb-phy
