I'm not Roger, but I believe it was determined we don't need this for
the Rockchip systems for which William was originally sending this. At
least not right now. I believe our PHY init problems were mostly
resolved in other ways.

(Although I hear USB is currently pretty broken around suspend/resume
for us on -next. Likely unrelated.)

I guess we never clearly replied stating the above. I hope this isn't
merged anywhere? Or I guess it's no problem to me at the moment, but it
might be needless churn.
