I very much am not inclined to backport this stuff, it impacts
an extremely small group of people so the risk/benefit ratio is
simply not worth it for me to do the work.
If someone else does the work and tests it, I'm willing to ACK
it going into -stable.
But this change impacted a lot of MDIO drivers and there were
regressions that needed to be fixed up the first time this stuff
went in.
