-8. Board File Initialization
-
-Certain board file initialization is necessary in order to get a reference
-to the PHY in the case of non-dt boot.
-Say we have a single device that implements 3 PHYs that of USB, SATA and PCIe,
-then in the board file the following initialization should be done.

-struct phy_consumer consumers[] = {
- PHY_CONSUMER("dwc3.0", "usb"),
- PHY_CONSUMER("pcie.0", "pcie"),
- PHY_CONSUMER("sata.0", "sata"),

-PHY_CONSUMER takes 2 parameters, first is the device name of the controller
-(PHY consumer) and second is the port name.

-then, while doing phy_create, the PHY driver should pass this init_data

+8. PHY Mappings
+
+In order to get reference to a PHY without help from DeviceTree, the framework
+offers lookups which can be compared to clkdev that allow clk structures to be
+bound to devices. A lookup can be made be made during runtime when a handle to
+the struct phy already exists.
+
+The framework offers the following API for registering and unregistering the
+lookups.
+
+int phy_create_lookup(struct phy *phy, const char *con_id, const char *dev_id);
+void phy_remove_lookup(struct phy *phy, const char *con_id, const char *dev_id);
