Not sure why you're calling this a hack. This is how the hardware works
and pretending that this PHY is some kind of MFD with completely
independent components is partly what resulted in this mess.

Accessing the USB registers by means of a hard-coded index in the PHY
array as is done in the runtime PM callbacks is a hack (see patch 5/6),
adding a dedicated pointer is not.
