It's a completely different phy block (Designware vs. Innosilicon) and a lot
of stuff also is handled differently.

For one on the old block, each phy was somewhat independent and had for examle
its own clock-supply, while on this one there is only one for both ports of
the phy. Similarly with the clock getting fed back to the clock-controller
(one clock per port on the old block, now one clock for the whole phy).

Then as you can see, the handling for power-up and down is a bit different and
I guess one big block might be the still missing special otg handling, Frank
wrote about.

Frank said, that the phy is only able to detect the plug-in event via
interrupts, not the removal, so once a plugged device is detected, this gets
rescheduled until the device gets removed.

As you have probably seen, this phy block is no stand-alone (mmio-)device, but
gets controlled through special register/bits in the so called "General
Register Files" syscon.

The values stored and accessed here, are the location and layout of those
control registers. Bits in those phy control registers at times move between
phy-versions in different socs (rk3036, rk3228, rk3366, rk3368, rk3399) and
some are even missing. So I don't really see a nice way to describe that in dt
without describing the register and offset of each of those 22 used bits
individually.


I'm also not sure where you expect it to break? The reg-offset is the offset
of the phy inside the GRF and the Designware-phy also already does something
similar to select some appropriate values.
