Just some trivial notes.

That's a bit twisted isn't it?
Perhaps
	struct phy *phy = res;

static bool devm_phy_match(etc...)

Is this the right size?

Because ptr is **, perhaps sizeof(struct phy) is clearer.

alloc failures generally don't need specific OOM messages
as the general alloc OOM dumps stack.

I think it's tasteful coding style to align like:

	if (IS_ERR(phy) || !phy->dev.class ||
	    !try_module_get(phy->dev.class->owner)) {

No OOM message required...

You might add #define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt
before any include so that pr_<levels> are prefixed.
