Please look at these side by side to standard C22 registers. Which are
different? Is LRECR actually different to BMCR that it needs it own
define? Is LRESR different enought to BMSR that it needs its own
define? Does the ID registers use a different format?

Reverse the order of these, and then compare them to:

/* Basic mode control register. */
#define BMCR_SPEED1000          0x0040  /* MSB of Speed (1000)         */
#define BMCR_CTST               0x0080  /* Collision test              */
#define BMCR_FULLDPLX           0x0100  /* Full duplex                 */
#define BMCR_ANRESTART          0x0200  /* Auto negotiation restart    */
#define BMCR_ISOLATE            0x0400  /* Isolate data paths from MII */
#define BMCR_PDOWN              0x0800  /* Enable low power state      */
#define BMCR_ANENABLE           0x1000  /* Enable auto negotiation     */
#define BMCR_SPEED100           0x2000  /* Select 100Mbps              */
#define BMCR_LOOPBACK           0x4000  /* TXD loopback bits           */
#define BMCR_RESET              0x8000  /* Reset to default state      */

Drop any which are the same, and just add defined for those which are
different.

What does LDS mean? In BMSR this bit is about auto-neg. How does LDS
differ from auto-neg?

Ideally, where the functionality is the same, please use the existing
definitions. It makes it easier for somebody who knows C22 to look at
the code and understand it. And it makes it easier to spot where the
differences actually are.
