You ignore phy_addr. Which suggests you only allow one internal
PHY. Best practice here is to put the internal PHY on phy_addr 0, and
return 0xffff for all other phy_addr values. If phylib probes the full
range, or userspace tries to access the full range, it will look like
there is no PHY at these other addresses.

Here, silently ignore writes to phy_addr != 0.

You have the exact same error message. When you see such an error in
the log, it can sometimes be useful to know was it a read or a write
which failed. So i would suggest you put read/write into the message.

Does this mean that if using the internal PHY the MAC does support EEE
and half duplex?

That is not strictly true. The internal MDIO bus does not suport
C45. In practice, it probably does not matter.
