Don't we try using the generic PHY framework for new drivers?

Since there is no need for supporting an usb_phy case I don't think we
have to consider this case yet. And no doing so could encourage people
to add PHY drivers to the common PHY framework.

Sure, I'll fix that.

A driver can return an EPROBE_DEFER error and still probe successfully
later. This would be confusing to have this kind of error message in
this case. And when a driver returns -EPROBE_DEFER, there is an error
message already.
