Hi Marek,

Thank you for the patch.

"Probably" always makes me feel uncomfortable in such a context :-) Leaving 
the PHY powered at all times isn't the best idea as it will increase power 
consumption even when the DP output isn't in use. I can live with that if 
there's no other way, but it feels to me like we should first get to the 
bottom of the issue.
