I have a further suggestion, which I think will result in yet more
efficiencies:

struct phy_c45_devid_attribute {
	struct device_attribute attr;
	int index;
};

#define to_phy_c45_devid_attr(attr) \
	container_of(attr, struct phy_c45_devid_attribute, attr)

static ssize_t phy_c45_id_show(struct device *dev,
			       struct device_attribute *attr, char *buf)
{
	struct phy_c45_devid_attribute *devattr = to_phy_c45_devid_attr(attr);
	struct phy_device *phydev = to_phy_device(dev);
	unsigned long id;

	if (!phydev->is_c45)
		return 0;

	id = phydev->c45_ids.device_ids[devattr->index];

	return sprintf(buf, "0x%.8lx\n", id);
}

#define DEVICE_ATTR_C45_ID(i) \
static struct phy_c45_devid_attribute dev_attr_phy_c45_id##i = { \
	.attr = { \
		.attr   = { .name = __stringify(mmd##i), .mode = 0444 }, \
		.show   = phy_c45_id_show \
	}, \
	.index = i, \
}

which will probably result in less code size for a little larger data
size. Note that the references to this would need to be:

	&dev_attr_phy_c45_id1.attr.attr

in the array (adding an extra .attr).
