Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3 net-next] net: phy: disregard "Clause 22 registers
 present" bit in get_phy_c45_devs_in_pkg

Bit 0 in register 1.5 doesn't represent a device but is a flag that
Clause 22 registers are present. Therefore disregard this bit when
populating the device list. If code needs this information it
should read register 1.5 directly instead of accessing the device
list.
Because this bit doesn't represent a device don't define a
MDIO_MMD_XYZ constant, just define a MDIO_DEVS_XYZ constant for
the flag in the device list bitmap.

v2:
- make masking of bit 0 more explicit
- improve commit message

v3:
- replace single patch with a series
- add functionality of patch 1

Heiner Kallweit (3):
  net: phy: remove unneeded masking of PHY register read results
  net: phy: disregard "Clause 22 registers present" bit in
    get_phy_c45_devs_in_pkg
  net: phy: add constant for "Clause 22 registers present" flags in
    device list bitmap
