FYI, the power_count keeps track of the balance of phy_power_on() and
phy_power_off() calls, whereas it is the init_count keeps track of
phy_init() and phy_exit() calls. They are only related to the extent
that you must respect the phy_init() -> phy_power_on() -> phy_power_off()
-> phy_exit() sequence. But in any case, both should be considered
PHY-internal fields. The "Order of API calls" section from
Documentation/driver-api/phy/phy.rst mentions the order that I just
described above, and consumers should just ensure they follow that.
