genphy_c45_read_status() is a good point. We need to keep with the
normal way phylib works, otherwise all the helper functions will
break. So i think you need to implement the struct phy_driver
.read_mmd and .write_mmd ops to do direct C45 accesses. That is not
really how it should work, but that is a phylib problem, not a Rust
problem.
