Yes, the above implementation seems better. The strict requirement will be that
post initialization of the first PHY (Serdes), it remains powered ON so that it
can provide its reference clock to the second PHY (Serdes). Therefore, getting
the reference to the PHYs within the loop will work too since the reference is
being release only outside the loop. Nevertheless I shall go ahead with the
implementation suggested by you since that looks much better and cleaner.
