drivers: phy: add generic PHY framework

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

+PHY device node
+===============
+
+Required Properties:
+#phy-cells:	Number of cells in a PHY specifier;  The meaning of all those
+		cells is defined by the binding for the phy node. The PHY
+		provider can use the values in cells to find the appropriate
+		PHY.
+
+For example:
+
+phys: phy {
+    compatible = "xxx";
+    reg = <...>;
+    .
+    .
+    #phy-cells = <1>;
+    .
+    .
+};
+
+That node describes an IP block (PHY provider) that implements 2 different PHYs.
+In order to differentiate between these 2 PHYs, an additonal specifier should be
+given while trying to get a reference to it.
+
+PHY user node
+=============
+
+Required Properties:
+phys : the phandle for the PHY device (used by the PHY subsystem)
+phy-names : the names of the PHY corresponding to the PHYs present in the
+	    *phys* phandle
+
+Example 1:
+usb1: usb_otg_ss@xxx {
+    compatible = "xxx";
+    reg = <xxx>;
+    .
+    .
+    phys = <&usb2_phy>, <&usb3_phy>;
+    phy-names = "usb2phy", "usb3phy";
+    .
+    .
+};
+
+This node represents a controller that uses two PHYs, one for usb2 and one for
+usb3.
+
+Example 2:
+usb2: usb_otg_ss@xxx {
+    compatible = "xxx";
+    reg = <xxx>;
+    .
+    .
+    phys = <&phys 1>;
+    phy-names = "usbphy";
+    .
+    .
+};
+
+This node represents a controller that uses one of the PHYs of the PHY provider
+device defined previously. Note that the phy handle has an additional specifier
+"1" to differentiate between the two PHYs.

+			    PHY SUBSYSTEM
+		  Kishon Vijay Abraham I <kishon@ti.com>
+
+This document explains the Generic PHY Framework along with the APIs provided,
+and how-to-use.
+
+1. Introduction
+
+*PHY* is the abbreviation for physical layer. It is used to connect a device
+to the physical medium e.g., the USB controller has a PHY to provide functions
+such as serialization, de-serialization, encoding, decoding and is responsible
+for obtaining the required data transmission rate. Note that some USB
+controllers have PHY functionality embedded into it and others use an external
+PHY. Other peripherals that use PHY include Wireless LAN, Ethernet,
+SATA etc.
+
+The intention of creating this framework is to bring the PHY drivers spread
+all over the Linux kernel to drivers/phy to increase code re-use and for
+better code maintainability.
+
+This framework will be of use only to devices that use external PHY (PHY
+functionality is not embedded within the controller).
+
+2. Registering/Unregistering the PHY provider
+
+PHY provider refers to an entity that implements one or more PHY instances.
+For the simple case where the PHY provider implements only a single instance of
+the PHY, the framework provides its own implementation of of_xlate in
+of_phy_simple_xlate. If the PHY provider implements multiple instances, it
+should provide its own implementation of of_xlate. of_xlate is used only for
+dt boot case.
+
+#define of_phy_provider_register(dev, xlate)    \
+        __of_phy_provider_register((dev), THIS_MODULE, (xlate))
+
+#define devm_of_phy_provider_register(dev, xlate)       \
+        __devm_of_phy_provider_register((dev), THIS_MODULE, (xlate))
+
+of_phy_provider_register and devm_of_phy_provider_register macros can be used to
+register the phy_provider and it takes device and of_xlate as
+arguments. For the dt boot case, all PHY providers should use one of the above
+2 macros to register the PHY provider.
+
+void devm_of_phy_provider_unregister(struct device *dev,
+	struct phy_provider *phy_provider);
+void of_phy_provider_unregister(struct phy_provider *phy_provider);
+
+devm_of_phy_provider_unregister and of_phy_provider_unregister can be used to
+unregister the PHY.
+
+3. Creating the PHY
+
+The PHY driver should create the PHY in order for other peripheral controllers
+to make use of it. The PHY framework provides 2 APIs to create the PHY.
+
+struct phy *phy_create(struct device *dev, const struct phy_ops *ops,
+        struct phy_init_data *init_data);
+struct phy *devm_phy_create(struct device *dev, const struct phy_ops *ops,
+	struct phy_init_data *init_data);
+
+The PHY drivers can use one of the above 2 APIs to create the PHY by passing
+the device pointer, phy ops and init_data.
+phy_ops is a set of function pointers for performing PHY operations such as
+init, exit, power_on and power_off. *init_data* is mandatory to get a reference
+to the PHY in the case of non-dt boot. See section *Board File Initialization*
+on how init_data should be used.
+
+Inorder to dereference the private data (in phy_ops), the phy provider driver
+can use phy_set_drvdata() after creating the PHY and use phy_get_drvdata() in
+phy_ops to get back the private data.
+
+4. Getting a reference to the PHY
+
+Before the controller can make use of the PHY, it has to get a reference to
+it. This framework provides the following APIs to get a reference to the PHY.
+
+struct phy *phy_get(struct device *dev, const char *string);
+struct phy *devm_phy_get(struct device *dev, const char *string);
+
+phy_get and devm_phy_get can be used to get the PHY. In the case of dt boot,
+the string arguments should contain the phy name as given in the dt data and
+in the case of non-dt boot, it should contain the label of the PHY.
+The only difference between the two APIs is that devm_phy_get associates the
+device with the PHY using devres on successful PHY get. On driver detach,
+release function is invoked on the the devres data and devres data is freed.
+
+5. Releasing a reference to the PHY
+
+When the controller no longer needs the PHY, it has to release the reference
+to the PHY it has obtained using the APIs mentioned in the above section. The
+PHY framework provides 2 APIs to release a reference to the PHY.
+
+void phy_put(struct phy *phy);
+void devm_phy_put(struct device *dev, struct phy *phy);
+
+Both these APIs are used to release a reference to the PHY and devm_phy_put
+destroys the devres associated with this PHY.
+
+6. Destroying the PHY
+
+When the driver that created the PHY is unloaded, it should destroy the PHY it
+created using one of the following 2 APIs.
+
+void phy_destroy(struct phy *phy);
+void devm_phy_destroy(struct device *dev, struct phy *phy);
+
+Both these APIs destroy the PHY and devm_phy_destroy destroys the devres
+associated with this PHY.
+
+7. PM Runtime
+
+This subsystem is pm runtime enabled. So while creating the PHY,
+pm_runtime_enable of the phy device created by this subsystem is called and
+while destroying the PHY, pm_runtime_disable is called. Note that the phy
+device created by this subsystem will be a child of the device that calls
+phy_create (PHY provider device).
+
+So pm_runtime_get_sync of the phy_device created by this subsystem will invoke
+pm_runtime_get_sync of PHY provider device because of parent-child relationship.
+It should also be noted that phy_power_on and phy_power_off performs
+phy_pm_runtime_get_sync and phy_pm_runtime_put respectively.
+There are exported APIs like phy_pm_runtime_get, phy_pm_runtime_get_sync,
+phy_pm_runtime_put, phy_pm_runtime_put_sync, phy_pm_runtime_allow and
+phy_pm_runtime_forbid for performing PM operations.
+
+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 takes 2 parameters, first is the device name of the controller
+(PHY consumer) and second is the port name.
+
+struct phy_init_data init_data = {
+	.consumers = consumers,
+	.num_consumers = ARRAY_SIZE(consumers),
+};
+
+static const struct platform_device pipe3_phy_dev = {
+	.name = "pipe3-phy",
+	.id = -1,
+	.dev = {
+		.platform_data = {
+			.init_data = &init_data,
+		},
+	},
+};
+
+then, while doing phy_create, the PHY driver should pass this init_data
+	phy_create(dev, ops, pdata->init_data);
+
+and the controller driver (phy consumer) should pass the port name along with
+the device to get a reference to the PHY
+	phy_get(dev, "pcie");
+
+9. DeviceTree Binding
