+As it turned out some clean-up would be needed, first address return
+value and type of mdio read and write functions in mtk_eth_soc and
+generally clean up and unify both functions.
+Also refactor IAC register definitions to use bitfield helper macros
+to get rid of constants previously used as mask or shift values.
+Then add support to access Clause 45 phy registers, using the newly
+introcuced helper macros suggested by Russell King to access the
+Clause 45 device and register address encoded in the 32-bit parameter.

-v12: replace 'ret != 0' forgotten from an earlier iteration with
-     'ret < 0' checks of mtk_mdio_busy_wait return value (purely
-     cosmetical as anyway either 0 or -ETIMEDOUT is returned, sorry
-     for the noise)
-v11: also address return value of mtk_mdio_busy_wait
-v10: correct order of SoB lines in 2/3, change patch order in series
-v9: improved formatting and Cc missing maintainer
 v8: add patch from Russel King, switch to bitfield helper macros
 v7: remove unneeded variables and order OR-ed call parameters
 v6: further clean up functions and more cleanly separate patches
