It could help to mention why just in case you have to respin that patch
series:
- PHY ID is the unique 32-bits identifier for a MDIO device implementing
standard MII registers MII_PHYSID1/2, which is not guaranteed to be the
case for non-standard compliant devices (e.g: Ethernet switches)
- PHY interface describes the data-path of the PHY/MDIO device, which is
not strictly a PHY thing, but is required and needed for PHY devices to
function, a MDIO device could be a control device exclusively
- PHY has fixups describes what the PHY driver may have done, so
completely PHY specific
