One question, maybe silly question, that comes to my mind is, as the
offsets for same register are different between type-c phy0 and type-c
phy1 and there is two instances, the driver needs to know which type-c
phyter is and I'm not sure the proper way to do it. It is just check
the type-c phyter base address? So if base address is 0xff7c0000
(phy0) we know that we should apply the offsets for phy0 and if base
address is 0xff800000 we know that we should apply the offsets for
phy1?
