Not sure we need this. See below.

Can we keep a summary on one line?

Why is this needed?
Perhaps a comment to the function description explains a case when
@phy_fwnode == NULL.

So, what is the problem with going through the rest on ACPI?
Usually we describe the restrictions in the documentation.
