I don't think this is (a) correct, (b) any different from the IEEE 802.3
standard definitions. Please use the standard definitions in
include/uapi/linux/mdio.h.

Again, this is IEEE 802.3 standard, nothing special here. As this is
a standard bit, include/uapi/linux/mdio.h should be augmented with
it rather than introducing private definitions. Note that this is
_not_ 2500T but merely indicates that the "PMA/PMD is capable of
operating at 2.5 Gb/s". IEEE 802.3 makes no mention of the underlying
technology used to achieve 2.5Gbps.

This is the PMA type selection register... another IEEE 802.3 standard
register. You omit the underlying technology for these definitions.
From the IEEE 802.3 standard:

0x30 2.5GBASE-T PMA
0x0f 10BASE-T PMA/PMD
0x0e 100BASE-TX PMA/PMD
0x0c 1000BASE-T PMA/PMD

and we have definitions for all these already:

#define MDIO_PMA_CTRL2_1000BT           0x000c  /* 1000BASE-T type */
#define MDIO_PMA_CTRL2_100BTX           0x000e  /* 100BASE-TX type */
#define MDIO_PMA_CTRL2_10BT             0x000f  /* 10BASE-T type */
#define MDIO_PMA_CTRL2_2_5GBT           0x0030  /* 2.5GBaseT type */

Please make use of these.

I suspect I'm going to find that the above are standard registers
as well.

I think I'll also ask that once you've corrected the above, that you
also look to see which of the Clause 45 generic support functions you
can make use of in this driver, and switch it over to those - and then
post a revised version.

Thanks.
