Consider documenting the purpose of this lock to make 'checkpatch.pl --
strict' happy.

This function does a lot of register read-modify-writes.

	lockdep_assert_held(&atcphy->lock);

maybe? Or you could move the 'guard(mutex)(&atcphy->lock);' from
atcphy_dpphy_configure() in here.

Seems to me like this switch(){} doesn't need to be under guard.
