I find this function name confusing, since 50% of the time it does not
actually power the PHY on. You never call it with anything other than
a static true/false value. So it might was well be two functions,
phy_power_on() and phy_power_off().

Not all PHYs are usable in 0 picoseconds. You probably want a delay
here. Otherwise the first few accesses to it might not work.
