Please replace the magic numbers with constants. Here even standard
registers are used: 0x7 = MDIO_MMD_AN, 0x3c = MDIO_AN_EEE_ADV
Effectively EEE advertisement is disabled.

PHY drivers reside under drivers/net/phy. Not sure whether your internal
PHY's have a proper PHY ID, you could assign pseudo PHY ID's differing
per switch revision. See mv88e6xxx_mdio_read() for a similar use case.
