0x20 -> PHY_MAX_ADDR
0x1F -> PHY_MAX_ADDR - 1

Sorry for not jumping on this earlier on, there is a mixture of 
hexadecimal and decimal numbers being used which IMHO just makes this 
more difficult to read than needed. It seems like the requirement is for 
the switch's MDIO device address to have the lower 3 bits set, so can we 
give it a name like MT7530_MDIO_ADDR_VALID_MASK?
