Subject: [PATCH 4.14 064/143] net: phy: Add general dummy stubs for MMD register access

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit 5df7af85ecd88e8b5f1f31d6456c3cf38a8bbdda ]

For some phy devices, even though they don't support the MMD extended
register access, it does have some side effect if we are trying to
read/write the MMD registers via indirect method. So introduce general
dummy stubs for MMD register access which these devices can use to avoid
such side effect.

Fixes: b6b5e8a69118 ("gianfar: Disable EEE autoneg by default")
