Where/how was the .config generated?

Are you building linux-next or something else?  The .config file
generated when I build the arm64 defconfig  show both enabled:

$ grep GENERIC_PHY .config
CONFIG_GENERIC_PHY=y
CONFIG_GENERIC_PHY_MIPI_DPHY=y

If you can replicate the problem, I'd suggest submitting a patch.
