One last thing - is there any point to creating these attributes if
the PHY isn't c45?

We could add here:

	.is_visible = phy_dev_c45_visible,

with:

static umode_t phy_dev_c45_visible(struct kobject *kobj,
				   struct attribute *attr, int foo)
{
	struct phy_device *phydev = to_phy_device(kobj_to_dev(kobj));

	return phydev->is_c45 ? attr->mode : 0;
}

which will only show the c45 attributes if the PHY is a c45 PHY.

Andrew, any opinions?
