Hi Chris,
quoted hunk ↗ jump to hunk
The Meson G12A Internal PHY does not support standard IEEE MMD extended
register access, therefore add generic dummy stubs to fail the read and
write MMD calls. This is necessary to prevent the core PHY code from
erroneously believing that EEE is supported by this PHY even though this
PHY does not support EEE, as MMD register access returns all FFFFs.

thanks for catching this. The same issue we may have for the GXL-internal PHY.
Did you check this?

One result of the issue is the invalid ethtool --show-eee output given below.
Therefore the patch should go to stable, please annotate it as [PATCH net].

Fixes tag should be:
