Why is PHY_MT7621_PCI only y/n?  Shouldn't this be able to be built as a
module?

The USB phy enables this driver, which now forces me to build it into my
kernel, which does not seem like a wise idea.  I'm not sure which commit
in this series does this, but that isn't a good thing.

Ah, it's 6eded551cefe ("phy: ralink: Kconfig: convert mt7621-pci-phy
into 'bool'"), why is that needed?  We are working to turn more code
into modules, not force them to be built in, this feels like the wrong
way to go :(

I don't want to take this series because of this at the moment.

thanks,
