Thanks, I wasn't aware of either of those.

I am now working with this:

K: \b(?:__)?(?:devm_)?(?:of_)?phy_(?:create|destroy|provider_(?:un)?register)\b
K: \bphy_(?:create|remove)_lookup\b
K: \bphy_(?:get|set)?_drvdata\b
K: \b(?:devm_)?(?:of_)?phy_(?:optional_)?(?:get|put)(?:_by_index)?\b
K: \bphy_pm_runtime_(?:get|put)(?:_sync)?\b
K: \bphy_(?:init|exit|power_(?:on|off))\b
K: \bphy_|(?:get|set)_(?:mode(?:_ext)?|media|speed|bus_width|max_link_rate)\b
K: \bphy_(?:reset|configure|validate|calibrate)\b
K: \bphy_notify_(?:connect|disconnect|state)\b
K: (?:struct\s+)?phy(?:_ops|_attrs|_lookup|_provider)?\b
K: (?:linux/phy/phy\.h|phy-props\.h|phy-provider\.h)
