I agree with Rafael here. We should try to refactor and combine this
code. And where possible, we should try to add a uniform fwnode_ API
which underneath either uses OF or ACPI, depending on the type of the
node. We already have fwnode_get_mac_address(), fwmode_irq_get(),
fwnode_get_phy_mode(), so where possible, PHYs should be no different.
