phy_power_on() is a local scope one within the driver, since the return

Patch looks generally good, nice to see the reverse christmas tree
ordering of local variables resulting from this patch. However, the
subject line needs to be adjusted to meet netdev requirements. Please
see
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.1/networking/netdev-FAQ.html#q-how-do-i-indicate-which-tree-net-vs-net-next-my-patch-should-be-in
Please wait a minimum of one day before sending an updated version.

Please can you also follow up with a patch to change the function name
from "phy_power_on()" as this may conflict with the PHY subsystems
"int phy_power_on(struct phy *phy);"

"rk_phy_power_set()" would probably be a good alternative name,
especially as when the 2nd argument is false, the function turns the
PHY off.

Thanks!
