+information about PHY subsystem refer to Documentation/phy.txt
+
+PHY device node
+===============
+
+Required Properties:
+#phy-cells:	Number of cells in a PHY specifier;  The meaning of all those
+		cells is defined by the binding for the phy node. The PHY
+		provider can use the values in cells to find the appropriate
+		PHY.
+
+For example:
+
+phys: phy {
+    compatible = "xxx";
+    reg = <...>;
+    .
+    .
+    #phy-cells = <1>;
+    .
+    .
+};
+
+That node describes an IP block (PHY provider) that implements 2 different PHYs.
+In order to differentiate between these 2 PHYs, an additonal specifier should be
+given while trying to get a reference to it.
+
+PHY user node
+=============
+
+Required Properties:
+phys : the phandle for the PHY device (used by the PHY subsystem)
+phy-names : the names of the PHY corresponding to the PHYs present in the
+	    *phys* phandle
+
+Example 1:
+usb1: usb_otg_ss@xxx {
+    compatible = "xxx";
+    reg = <xxx>;
+    .
+    .
+    phys = <&usb2_phy>, <&usb3_phy>;
+    phy-names = "usb2phy", "usb3phy";
+    .
+    .
+};
+
+This node represents a controller that uses two PHYs, one for usb2 and one for
+usb3.
+
+Example 2:
+usb2: usb_otg_ss@xxx {
+    compatible = "xxx";
+    reg = <xxx>;
+    .
+    .
+    phys = <&phys 1>;
+    phy-names = "usbphy";
+    .
+    .
+};
+
+This node represents a controller that uses one of the PHYs of the PHY provider
+device defined previously. Note that the phy handle has an additional specifier
+"1" to differentiate between the two PHYs.
