yeah, that also seems good idea. How about something like this:

--- a/include/linux/phy/phy.h
+++ b/include/linux/phy/phy.h
@@ -23,12 +23,16 @@
struct phy;

enum phy_mode {
- PHY_MODE_INVALID,
- PHY_MODE_USB_HOST,
- PHY_MODE_USB_DEVICE,
- PHY_MODE_USB_OTG,
- PHY_MODE_SGMII,
- PHY_MODE_10GKR,
+ PHY_MODE_INVALID = 0,
+ PHY_MODE_USB_HOST = BIT(0),
+ PHY_MODE_USB_DEVICE = BIT(1),
+ PHY_MODE_USB_OTG, = BIT(2),
+ PHY_MODE_SGMII = BIT(3),
+ PHY_MODE_10GKR = BIT(4),
+ PHY_MODE_USB_LS = BIT(5),
+ PHY_MODE_USB_FS = BIT(6),
+ PHY_MODE_USB_HS = BIT(7),
+ PHY_MODE_USB_SS = BIT(8),
};


This way I don't need to duplicate USB speed enums for host/device or otg modes.
