Your changes look very clean and neat!
Since we keep seeing changes around the fixed PHY driver, I am starting
to wonder whether we need something more lightweight than a full fledged
fixed PHY to retrieve link parameters and manage them outside of the PHY
library.
One of the promises of the PHY library is that you will get a number of
things for free, whether you deal with a real PHY device or a fixed PHY
one: ethtool reporting, adjust_link to configure the Ethernet MAC with
detected/hardcoded link settings, automatic carrier settings etc...
Which would have to be repeated in individual drivers utilizing a more
lightweight fixed link code...
