These defines help limit the line length?
Please don't obfuscate code like that, see below.

You can declare a structure holding the params and save the info there:

	struct {
		u8 id;
		u8 dev;
		u16 addr;
	} regs[] = {
		{ ETH_SR_MII_TIME_SYNC_TX_MAX_DLY_LWR,	MDIO_MMD_VEND2,	0x0709 },
	};

that should fit on the line.

You can then read the values in a loop. And inside that loop you can
handle errors (perhaps avoiding the need for lan743x_sgmii_dump_read()
which seems rather unnecessary as lan743x_sgmii_read() already prints 
errors).

FWIW I like Andrew's suggestion from v3 to use version as a bitfield, too.
