I would not think this is a compelling enough reason, you could very
well just adjust the dp83848.c driver just to account for these
properties that you are introducing. More comments below.

Humm, this looks a bit fragile, you would likely want to create separate
helper functions for these extended registers and make sure you handle
write failures as well. Also consider making use of the page helpers
from include/linux/phy.h.

Same here.

This should not be necessary, that should be the default with a zero
initialized private data structure.

You need to implement a probe() function that is responsible for
allocation private memory instead of doing this check.

How can you have pwrb_level < 0 when you use of_read_property_u32()?

One too many levels of parenthesis, the outer ones should not be necessary.

config_init() is called often, consider making this a debugging statement.
