    Actually, I haven't given enough thought to this...

    Yes, that was the plan. Currently, the PHY driver for which this was 
written can be probed from the device tree only.

    Yes, you're right. I didn't really consider the case of some host needing 
2 distinct PHY.

    Well, AFAIK the look-up table method is already provided by the current 
PHY core for non-DT use cases; this doesn't seem to have changed with that 
patch set, does it?

    I guess it'd probably be simpler to ignore the 'gen_phy' member of 'struct 
usb_hcd' in your case (if it gets eventually added).
