phy_power_off() should be cutting the clocks and power from PHY
completely, no ?
In that case one may not be able to wakeup the system from USB.

So phy_exit() gets the responsibility to put the PHY into low power state.

Ccing Kishon also to get his opinion on actual role of the two callbacks -
phy_init/exit() and phy_power_on/off().
