Typo + wrong lock named in the comment, instead:

	 * This GPIO must be used with the gpio_lock taken (the lock is shared

Though technically both are taken when access to the GPIO is requested 
AFAICT.

Also on another note, maybe we could actually make vsc8531->base_addr be 
a part
of vsc85xx_shared_private structure.

We would still need to compute it to pass it to devm_phy_package_join 
but it can
easily be returned by vsc8584_get_base_addr instead of the current void 
and it'd
put all the things used for all PHYs in the package at the same place.

Thanks,
Quentin
