Hello Russell,

So, if we want to report the ID of the PHY, then really we need to
report the clause 22 ID, and at least all the devids of each MMD in
a clause 45 PHY. Alternatively, we may decide it isn't worth the
effort of reporting any of these IDs.

However, reporting just the clause 22 ID would be a design error
IMHO.
I don't have any strong reason to keep exporting the PHY id. Reporting
the driver name is enough to get a good idea of the nature of the
device, I'll drop that field then.

Thanks for taking a look,

Maxime
