I'm not sure which way is preferred by PHY maintainers, but it seems to
be a useless complication to simulate that you have a struct mdio_device
for the other lanes when you don't. It appears more appropriate to just
use mdiobus_c45_write(mpcs->mdio.bus, lanes[i]).

There's also the locking question (with the big caveat that we don't
know what the register writes do!). There's locking at the bus level,
but the MDIO device isn't locked. So phylink on those other PCSes can
still do stuff, even in-between the first and the second write to
undocumented register 0xf054.

I can speculate that writing 0x400c -> 0x4000 is something like: set
RX_RESET | TX_RESET followed by clear RX_RESET | TX_RESET. Is it ok if
stuff happens in between these writes - will it stick, or does this
logically interact with anything else in any other way? I guess we won't
know. I might be a bit closer to being okay with it if you could confirm
that some other (unrelated) register write to the PCS does make it
through (and can be read back) in between the 2 erratum writes.

You could at least print an error if a write failure occurred, so that
it doesn't go completely unnoticed.
