For consistency can you please check the return code from this xpcs_write too?

Not sure whether this is too much for "net" or not, but I suppose it is
pretty much relevant.

Clearing AN_CL37_EN during the first step is only necessary if it was
set in the first place. Otherwise, you could do only the xpcs_read but
not the xpcs_write.

At the end, you don't really need to read DW_VR_MII_MMD_CTRL again, you
just read it above, didn't you, can't you save it in a local variable?

And you only need to perform the write if the state of the AN_CL37_EN
bit changed, i.e. it was 0 before, and is now 1.

What I'm trying to say is that for the sja1105 driver, the XPCS is
accessed over SPI commands, and I would like for the number of those to
be minimized if possible. Thanks.

I've tested the change and it still works, by the way. I will add the
appropriate tags when you resend the v3.
