nit: a comment would be nice here. I.e. hdmi->phy being an opaque pointer
so checking hdmi->phy != NULL is not possible.

With that being a "goal", I assume that information is not widely spread
so this would prevent the next developer trying to change it back to
"if (hdmi->phy)" while that handling change trickles down.


apart from that:
