[PATCH v4 3/5] phy: fsl-imx8mq-usb: add runtime PM support

From: Xu Yang

Date: Fri Jun 05 2026 - 07:20:56 EST


From: Xu Yang <xu.yang_2@xxxxxxx>

Add runtime PM to ensure the PHY is properly powered and clocked during
register access, preventing potential system hangs.

It guards register access in the following scenarios:
- PHY operations: init() and power_on/off() callbacks are guarded by
phy core
- Type-C orientation switching when PHY/Controller are suspended which
needs explicitly care
- Future PHY control port register regmap debugfs access

Signed-off-by: Xu Yang <xu.yang_2@xxxxxxx>

Changes in v4:
- replace guard() with PM_RUNTIME_ACQUIRE()
Changes in v3:
- new patch
