Florian, I think at one point you said that a correct user of
phydev->dev_flags should first check the PHY revision and not apply
dev_flags in blind, since they are namespaced to each PHY driver?
It sounds a bit circular to pass the PHY revision to the PHY through
phydev->dev_flags, either that or I'm missing some piece.
