I had seen your patches in the mailing list, but i don't see any
updated version of these patches.
Are you planning to work on this above mentioned patch-series any time soon ?

Or, should i try to find a different approach for handling the phy
from the host controller (child of DWC3 in this case, which has the
phys).
