The Meson G12A Internal PHY does not support standard IEEE MMD extended
register access, therefore add generic dummy stubs to fail the read and
write MMD calls. This is necessary to prevent the core PHY code from
erroneously believing that EEE is supported by this PHY even though this
PHY does not support EEE, as MMD register access returns all FFFFs.

This is definitely something that should be done, Thx !

This commit does not seems appropriate, especially since only the GXL ops
are changed, not the g12a variant.

This brings a 2nd point, any reason for not changing the g12 variant ?
I'm fairly confident it does support EEE either.

The diff is a little bit misleading. The patch affects the G12A PHY.

Supposedly it's a typo and you mean "doesn't". Neither Chris nor me
have GXL HW and we didn't want to submit a patch just based on speculation.

Indeed ;)

Ah - Ok.
I've tested something similar recently while working on the PHY.
I confirm that both GXL and G12a should stub those calls.

... maybe in separate patches to help stable backports.

Do you want to handle this or should I ?

I can take it, will add your Suggested-by.
