[PATCH v5 phy-next 12/27] usb: host: tegra: avoid direct dereference of phy->dev.of_node

A piece of context which seems relevant here is that the USB subsystem
is transitioning from struct usb_phy to struct phy (belonging to the
Generic PHY subsystem). Commit 1a229d8690a0 ("Revert "usb: phy: add usb
phy notify port status API"") seems to confirm that this is the case.

In the transition process, some PHY provider drivers register themselves
as both Generic PHY and USB PHY in an attempt to bridge the API gap.
Such is the case with drivers/phy/tegra/xusb.c, accessed here by the
Tegra USB host driver. This USB host expects the PHY device behind the
Generic PHY to also be a USB PHY, and calls
devm_usb_get_phy_by_node(phy->dev.of_node).

The Generic PHY exposes no API to get the OF node from a PHY device, so
the Tegra USB host driver gets it directly. However, "struct phy" will
be made an opaque pointer, to avoid misuse, so this will no longer be
possible.

Considering the fact that the Generic PHY/USB PHY duality is a
transitional state, I am deliberately not planning to make the life of
this driver any easier by providing a helper to get to the OF node
somehow. Instead, implement a parallel lookup path through which the
Tegra USB host driver can continue to get to the OF node provided by the
padctl component, using the 'phys' phandle.

Secondly (minor issue) the driver uses the phy->dev.of_node again to
print using dev_dbg() that a "remote wake" was detected. Just print the
index at which the PHY appears inside the driver's tegra->phys[] array
instead.
