The MxL862xx firmware offers opt-in CRC validation on the MDIO/MMD command interface to guard against bit errors on the bus. The driver has not used this until now. This series enables CRC protection on both the command registers (CRC-6) and data payloads (CRC-16), and reduces MDIO bus traffic by bulk-zeroing registers instead of writing zero-valued words individually.
