In the 88E6123 Serdes Register Description the highest register address 
was 26 so that's what I used. Technically there are 32 possible 
addresses in that space so I could go up to 32. Equally registers 9-14, 
20, 22-23 are "reserved" so I could remove them from the total and have 
mv88e6123_serdes_get_regs() skip over them. I'm guessing skipping some 
(27-32) and not others is probably less than ideal.
