Thanks for submitting this fix, I would be tempted to slap a:

Fixes: b14995ac2527 ("net: phy: broadcom: Add BCM54810 PHY entry")

so we get it back ported to stable trees where appropriate. It is not 
clear whether we should return -EINVAL vs. -EOPNOTSUPP which may more 
clearly indicate the inability to support MMD registers?
