I don't think this will apply to net-next as the relevant code has been
moved to the Micrel PHY driver and removed from this one in the
following commits, and effectively the same change to disable autoneg
before the register writes and re-enable afterwards was incorporated:

    net: phy: micrel: Move KSZ9477 errata fixes to PHY driver

commit 6068e6d7ba5001dfb96bb8b7b92e2ed2a5877786

    net: dsa: microchip: remove KSZ9477 PHY errata handling

However, your patch may be reasonable to apply to -rc7 or stable as a
more targeted change for those releases.
