Supporting all possibilities is not possible. However you could
picking out a subset which other PHYs could also implement. Think
about the typical patterns you see if you have two LEDs, which seems
to be the most common setup.

We would have generic PHY trigger code, and a driver specific part
which configures the PHY to that configuration, if the trigger is
activated.
