That is actually a good point: it is indeed solely a PHY property. The
HCIs already connect to their PHYs, among other reasons to power them
on, so it should really be an internal PHY affair.
Which is actually what this patch here does.
So I can combine the best of both approaches: we already have the
PHY2 clock and reset references in the PHY node, so can just reach out
and enable them as well, alongside the actually associated PHY clock.
This allows us to get rid of the bogus PHY2 clock references from all
HCIs.
So all of this H616 quirk can be fully contained within the PHY driver,
with no impact on the HCI parts and no extra DT properties
(power-domains, clocks) needed there.

Seems to work on a quick test. I will send a version ASAP.

Thanks!
