I would not pollute bgx_probe() with acpi and dt specifics, and instead
keep bgx_init_phy(). The typical design pattern for this is:

static int bgx_init_phy(struct bgx *bgx)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI
        if (!acpi_disabled)
                return bgx_init_acpi_phy(bgx);
#endif
        return bgx_init_of_phy(bgx);
}

This adds acpi runtime detection (acpi=no), does not call dt code in
case of acpi, and saves the #else for bgx_init_acpi_phy().
