Are we looking at the same header file for the prototype of fixed_phy_add()?

extern int fixed_phy_add(unsigned int irq, int phy_id,
                         struct fixed_phy_status *status,
                         int link_gpio);

First argument is correct here.. at any rate, if something needs fixing,
just go ahead and submit a patch.
