Idea and approach are right, but as-is could result in this driver
matching any (even non-Micrel) PHY devices with this bit set. You have
to check the PHY ID too. See Realtek PHY driver for an example.

If callback match_phy_device is implemented, then you can remove
phy_id and phy_id_mask. Check phy_bus_match().
