Add devm_phy_optional_get, which should be used when the phy is
optional. It does not return an error when the phy does not exist,
rather it returns NULL, which is considered as a valid phy, but
results in NOPs when used with the consumer API.

Hans de Goede has a patch [1] that deals with this. You might want to have a
look at it.

It doesn't explain how devm_phy_optional_get is different from phy_get :-s

Do we need an API in phy-core to handle this? Can't this be done in the
controller driver itself?

How about i append, 

, and so will never return -ENODEV.

to the next but last sentence?

Sure it can be done in the consumer, but the code is ugly. Take a look
at:

Yeah, that can be added too.

Ok. Just one comment though. Implement phy_get_optional too so that we have
both the devres and the other variant.

Thanks
