This comment is incorrect.  What about clause 45 PHYs?

You seem to be duplicating the OF implementation in a private driver,
converting it to fwnode.  This is not how we develop the Linux kernel.
We fix subsystem problems by fixing the subsystems, not by throwing
what should be subsystem code into private drivers.
