What is actually wrong with the current solution? It is nicely hidden
away in the driver, where workarounds for broken hardware should
be. If you have found device 1 of 2, does that not suggest its resets
are already in a good state and nothing needs to be done for the
second PHY? So just register the second PHY with the code from within
the driver.
