Thank you for reviewing the patch. I plan on creating a new "struct
phy*" member named "serdes_phy" in the struct "am65_cpsw_slave_data"
defined in the file "am65-cpsw-nuss.h", and store the SerDes phy in this
member, during the execution of the am65_cpsw_init_serdes_phy()
function. Please let me know if I can proceed with this implementation.

Regards,
Siddharth.
