[PATCH] phy: core: document calibrate() method

From: Marek Szyprowski
Date: Fri Jul 19 2019 - 05:52:58 EST


Commit 36914111e682 ("drivers: phy: add calibrate method") added support
for generic phy_calibrate() method, but it didn't explain in detail when
such method is supposed to be called. Add some more documentation directly
to the phy.h to make it clean that it is intended to be called after every
host controller reset.
