Consider giving it a more descriptive name like "phy_switch" and adding
an argument to the function to enable/disable the phy. Put the routine
in the driver's open and close function.

Pleae also update the ti_hecc_platform_data documentation in the top of
ti_hecc.c

Have a look at the at91 for example.

cheers, Marc
