In all commit messages, use imperative tone as per kernel documentation:

"Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. "make xyzzy do frotz"
instead of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I] changed xyzzy
to do frotz", as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change
its behaviour."

'has_phy' means the controller supports PHY and the new SoC doesn't have a PHY
for the controller?
