Hello,

The PA Semi PWRficient Gigabit Ethernet doesn't work anymore since the 
first networking updates [1] for the kernel 4.16.

I figured out that the problematic code is in the mdio bus changes of 
the networking updates. [1]

I found the problematic code in the file 'drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c'. I 
created a patch which solves the problem with the PA Semi PWRficient 
Gigabit Ethernet. (attached)

Could you please check the changes in the file 'drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c'?

Thanks,
Christian
