Please make use of dev_err(phy->dev, so we know which PHY has
configuration problems.

What i have not yet seen is how this code plugs together with
phylink_pcs_ops?

Can this hardware also be used for SATA, USB? As far as i understand,
the Marvell Comphy is multi-purpose, it is used for networking, USB,
and SATA, etc. Making it a generic PHY then makes sense, because
different subsystems need to use it.

But it looks like this is for networking only? So i'm wondering if it
belongs in driver/net/pcs and it should be accessed using
phylink_pcs_ops?
