Thanks for your patch!

You may as well just return serdes...

... and move the above assignment into the caller.
That would save one if (...) check.

After that, not much is left in this function, so I'm wondering if it
can just be inlined at the single callsite?

BTW, there seem to be several calls to rswitch_get_port_node(), which
calls into DT tree traversal, so you may want to call it once, and store
a pointer to the port device node, too.  Then rswitch_serdes_phy_get()
becomes a candidate for manual inlining for sure.

As this is now a one-line function, just call phy_init() in all
callers instead?

Just call phy_exit() in all callers instead?
