Hi Dan

> UGH I think I just got volunteered to do make them common.

There is code you can copy from PHY drivers. :-)

What would be kind of nice is if the validate was in the core as
well. Pass a list of possible delays in pS, and it will do a
phydev_err() if what is in DT does not match one of the listed
delays. Take a look around at what current drivers do and see if you
can find a nice abstraction which will work for a few drivers. We
cannot easily convert existing drivers without breaking DT, but a
design which works in theory for what we currently have has a good
chance of working for any new PHY driver.
