phy: improved lookup method
Separates registration of the phy and the lookup. The method is copied from clkdev.c, Signed-off-by: Heikki Krogerus <heikki.krogerus@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Kishon Vijay Abraham I <kishon@ti.com>

-8. Board File Initialization

-Certain board file initialization is necessary in order to get a reference
-to the PHY in the case of non-dt boot.
-Say we have a single device that implements 3 PHYs that of USB, SATA and PCIe,
-then in the board file the following initialization should be done.

-struct phy_consumer consumers[] = {
- PHY_CONSUMER("dwc3.0", "usb"),
- PHY_CONSUMER("pcie.0", "pcie"),
- PHY_CONSUMER("sata.0", "sata"),

-(PHY consumer) and second is the port name.

+8. PHY Mappings
+
+In order to get reference to a PHY without help from DeviceTree, the framework
+offers lookups which can be compared to clkdev that allow clk structures to be
+bound to devices. A lookup can be made be made during runtime when a handle to
+the struct phy already exists.
+
+The framework offers the following API for registering and unregistering the
+lookups.
+
+int phy_create_lookup(struct phy *phy, const char *con_id, const char *dev_id);
+void phy_remove_lookup(struct phy *phy, const char *con_id, const char *dev_id);
