As i hinted, it needs somebody to actually debug this and figure out
why it does not work.

I think what i did above is part of the solution. You need to actually
read the ID from the DT, which if you never call fwnode_get_phy_id()
you never do.

You then need to look at phy_bus_match() and probably remove the

		return 0;
	} else {

so that C22 style ID matching is performed if matching via
c45_ids.device_ids fails.
