No it won't but, it is not _supposed_ to.

Literally just doing functional decomposition here. If someone misuses 
that decomp, that's on them, not part of this patch.

I don't see much point in moving that specific workaround into a 
lower-level boiler-plate but, its up to the PHY maintainers to decide.
