GENERIC_PHY_MIPI_DPHY was enabled to use
phy_mipi_dphy_get_default_config() which takes in the pixel clock,
bits-per-pixel, number of lanes and phy structure.  It applies a bunch
of math based on the info passed and fills in the structure, but that
function itself doesn't appear to be referencing phy code, so it's
likely safe.

I think this can be resolved by enabling GENERIC_PHY.  I just checked
linux-next and when I built the arm64 defconfig, it enables
GENERIC_PHY=y, so I don't think this is an issue.  I also checked the
multi_v7_defconfig for ARM and it also sets GENERIC_PHY=y for 32-bit
ARM people using some of the Exynos boards.

I don't know what version of Linux you're trying to build, but I can't
replicate your issue.
