If most parts of the phy can be powered off during runtime suspend to save
power, or phy HW support suspend mode, with usb phy, usb_phy_set_suspend() could
be used, but with the generic phy, it seems there's no corresponding API for
this purpose. I'm not sure whether using phy_power_off() is correct here. Is it
acceptable to extend the generic phy? such as, phy_suspend()/phy_resume()?

Thanks,
