+config PHY_BERLIN_SATA
+	bool

Is there any real reason why this cannot be tristate?

What we have seen with SATA drivers and phys, is there is link time
breakage if the SATA driver is built in and the phy is modular.

Maybe this has been fixed now? 

Using tristate shouldn't be a problem. I compiled without the PHY
driver, no link issue.

The problem i think was when the PHY core and driver was a module and
SATA built in. Please give that configuration a go.
