Also, phylink is a Linux implementation detail. Other OSes using the
binding don't need to have phylink. Yet they can still use the DT
blobs because they should describe the hardware, independent of how
the OS drives that hardware.

I haven't stated it directly but I've been agreeing to this fact since the
start of the discussion on patch 7.
