This was reported by Bjorn off-list a couple of months ago. I did check
it then and the order is perfectly fine. The solution here should be to
use mutex_lock_nested in the PHY framework. This would allow supporting
chain-linked PHYs. The possibility of moving out the repeater out of PHY
was also discussed. Unfortunately, I didn't have the bandwidth to
circle back and properly investigate and fix it.
