After the next patch is applied
[PATCH net-next 10/16] net: pcs: xpcs: Add generic DW XPCS MDIO-device support
the DW XPCS driver _will_ support setting custom IDs based on the
platform data and the DT compatibles. It can be used for instance to
fix the already available SJ1105 and SJ1110 MDIO bus implementations,
so instead of substituting the XPCS IDs on the PHYSID CSR reads the
driver could just pass the device ID and PMA ID via the device
platform data.

If my patch log text looks unclear anyway, just say so. I'll change it
accordingly. I guess it would be enough to say that moving is required
just to collect all the IDs in a single place.
