Subject: [PATCH 29/30] phy.txt: standardize document format
Each text file under Documentation follows a different
format. Some doesn't even have titles!
Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,
using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:
- mark titles;
- use :Author: for authorship;
- mark literal blocks.

-3. Creating the PHY
+Creating the PHY
+================
The PHY driver should create the PHY in order for other peripheral controllers
to make use of it. The PHY framework provides 2 APIs to create the PHY.

the device pointer and phy ops.

-5. Releasing a reference to the PHY
+Releasing a reference to the PHY
+================================
When the controller no longer needs the PHY, it has to release the reference
to the PHY it has obtained using the APIs mentioned in the above section. The
PHY framework provides 2 APIs to release a reference to the PHY.
