If the PHY driver uses another PHY internally (e.g. in case of eUSB2,
repeaters are represented as PHYs), then it would trigger the following
lockdep splat because all PHYs use a single static lockdep key and thus
lockdep can not identify whether there is a dependency or not and
reports a false positive.
Make PHY subsystem use dynamic lockdep keys, assigning each driver a
separate key. This way lockdep can correctly identify dependency graph
between mutexes.
