I wanted to add phy wakeup control also, but currently phy_ops  dont 
have an op for wkup_ctrl
Kishon, Can we add one?

Yes definitely , I liked the way you split the device node. Probably I 
should base on your dt patch and add
phy nodes.

Same as above  I just did it for quick testing (mentioned in the commit 
log).

yes true.
