I'm actually wondering, why there are no phy ops to start and stop the py. 
Right now the device seems to be on and handling all the extcon notifies all 
the time even if no-one is using the phy.

There are two users of this phy, the dp-controller as well as some usb 
component. The phy framework is nicely refcounted, so can handle any number 
of phy users and somehow I'd expect the phy to do nothing (and try to not 
consume power) if neither the dp-controller nor the usb-part is actually 
running.

It may very well be my ignorance, but Chris could you explain, if there is a 
reason for this?
