Jerome provided the information that also the GXL internal PHY doesn't
support MMD register access and EEE. MMD reads return 0xffff, what
results in e.g. completely wrong ethtool --show-eee output.
Therefore use the MMD dummy stubs.

Note: The Fixes tag references the commit that added the MMD dummy
access stubs.

Fixes: 5df7af85ecd8 ("net: phy: Add general dummy stubs for MMD register access")

The changes look fine to me, but the using of the "Fixes" tag seems a bit weird.
The "Fixes" tag is used to specify the commit causing regression instead of patch prerequisite.

Thanks,
Kevin

Good point, I'll do that next time.

The issue popped up with:
d853d145ea3e ("net: phy: add an option to disable EEE advertisement")

This commit added MMD register access to the generic configuration
path in phylib.

Please post a v2 with an update Fixes tag, and ev, referencing the pre-
requisite  in the the commit message itself, thanks!
