Micrel has some drivers on their web site to support some chips. For
that chips they do virtual mdio over spi.
And driver is available on download page:
http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/KSZ8895

Documentation->Software library.

Both driver and DSA driver. Driver has to work with some minor fixups
related to your kernel version. But I think they are don't care about
up-streaming that code.
So you can take their code as a reference.
