In old method, we will call phy_register_fixup_for_uid to update this 
configuration, which will set the phy_has_fixups as true, then it 
regards as fix up. So, can we also consider loading values from DTS also 
as fix up?

I am not sure I am fully understand here.

The value retrieve from DTS is used to overwrite the default value, so I 
think it is no need to check.
