No, this is an example of why you should not copy code (and docs) around, for example, so you don't have to fix the same bug (or typo) in multiple places. > We can share define implementations if they are meant to be > shared.

Just because no-one has used these outside of xhci today, doesn't mean that you should copy the defines once they are needed outside that driver. And in fact, they are used outside of the xhci driver proper already today, only that people took the lazy approach and shared the inline helper for that. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > The alternative that avoids this issue entirely could indeed be to > > > > > > > simply count the number of PHYs described in DT as Rob initially > > > > > > > suggested.
