It's not clear from your design intention if struct phy_bulk_data :: phy
is permitted to be accessed individually by consumers. Personally I see
no reason to. In that case, can you explicitly mark "struct phy *phy" as
"/* private: Internal use */" (like struct regulator_bulk_data does,
albeit for "ret"), or simply say in the kernel-doc description that it
is managed internally by the PHY framework (as is done for both struct
regulator_bulk_data and for struct icc_bulk_data :: path)?

This should help at least LLM review flag abusive users.
