These are PHY accesses over MDIO bus. Ethernet controller should not
care about content of this operations. But on qemu side, it is implemented as
part of Ethernet controller emulation...

Since MDIO_PCS_EEE_ABLE == 0x0000, phydev->supported_eee should prevent
other EEE related operations. But may be actual phy_read_mmd() went
wrong. It is a combination of simple phy_read/write to different
registers.

These will be interpreted as the PHY supports 1000KX and 1000T EEE modes.
Starting from this point all EEE read write operations will be allowed.

Hm. What is the best way to proceed? Remove genphy_c45_read_eee_abilities()
out of genphy_read_abilities() and let add it to PHYs known to support
it? Or go deeper and fix QEMU if needed?
