Indeed; that's a change of behaviour - see the CS4315/CS4340 workaround.

Note that MMD 0 is explicitly marked "Reserved" in 802.3, so we
shouldn't be probing it in this way.

Also note that bit 0 of the "devices in package" does not mean that
MMD 0 is accessible; it means that the clause 22 registers are
present:

  "Bit 5.0 is used to indicate that Clause 22 functionality has been
  implemented within a Clause 45 electrical interface device."

which basically means Clause 22 protocol over Clause 45 electrical
interface.

So, we should be careful about poking in MMD 0 if 5.0 is set.

Some places that will break are:

- phylink_phy_read() / phylink_phy_write()

- phy_restart_aneg() / phy_config_aneg() if we have an clause 45
  MDIO interface that can't issue clause 22 MDIO cycles with a PHY
  that sets 5.0.

These comments apply more to your patch 4, but you brought up the
MMD 0 accesses in this patch, so I thought I'd provide it here.
