[PATCH 1/3] PCI: cadence: Remove device links to PHY
From: vladimir . oltean
Date: Sat Sep 12 2026 - 12:26:05 EST
This is a partial revert of the device link pieces from commit
dfb80534692d ("PCI: cadence: Add generic PHY support to host and EP
drivers").
The trouble with this is that a PHY consumer driver dereferences fields
from struct phy, which will become no longer possible.
Since commit 987351e1ea77 ("phy: core: Add consumer device link
support") from 2019, the PHY core also adds a device link to order
PHY provider and consumer suspend/resume operations. The reverted
functionality is from 2018, and is redundant with the PHY core now.
