Probably not very similar. Here's the Mediatek 32-bit memory map,
translated by me to a 16-bit MDIO memory map:

/* SGMII subsystem config registers */
/* BMCR (low 16) BMSR (high 16) */
#define SGMSYS_PCS_CONTROL_1		0x0		// BMCR at MDIO addr 0x0, BMSR at 0x1, aka standard

#define SGMSYS_PCS_DEVICE_ID		0x4		// PHYSID1 at 0x2, PHYSID2 at 0x3, aka standard

#define SGMSYS_PCS_ADVERTISE		0x8		// MII_ADV at 0x4, MII_LPA at 0x5

#define SGMSYS_PCS_SCRATCH		0x14		// MDIO address 0xa

/* Register to programmable link timer, the unit in 2 * 8ns */
#define SGMSYS_PCS_LINK_TIMER		0x18		// MDIO address 0xc

/* Register to control remote fault */
#define SGMSYS_SGMII_MODE		0x20		// MDIO address 0x10

/* Register to reset SGMII design */
#define SGMII_RESERVED_0		0x34		// MDIO address 0x1a

/* Register to set SGMII speed, ANA RG_ Control Signals III */
#define SGMSYS_ANA_RG_CS3		0x2028		// not sure how to access this through C22, OTOH not used?

/* Register to power up QPHY */
#define SGMSYS_QPHY_PWR_STATE_CTRL	0xe8		// again, not sure how to access through C22


Compared to these definitions for Lynx, the rest being standard regs:

#define LINK_TIMER_LO			0x12
#define LINK_TIMER_HI			0x13
#define IF_MODE				0x14

So the standard bits appear to be common, the vendor extensions different.
When I say common, I only take into consideration the memory map, not
the differences in handling. For example, what Lynx handles as a single
call to phylink_mii_c22_pcs_get_state(), the Mediatek PCS handles as a
call to mtk_pcs_get_state().
