This can return an error, in which case phydev->speed should not be
trusted.

I've not thought locking all the way through yet. I don't think you
need a lock here, but i need to think about it.

You should check for an error here.

What happens if for example the PHY is an aquantia and has negotiated
SPEED_2500? Some Marvell PHYs can also do odd speeds, like 200Mbps.
You probably want to return an error, rather than silently have things
go wrong.

This can also return an error.

So from this point onward, the phy driver depends on the memory
allocated by this driver. If this driver goes away, freeing its
memory, the next call to read_status() is going to have a problem.

Also, i think this assignment should take the phy lock, just to be
safe.

There also needs to be some thought into what happens if the phy
driver is unloaded. Should this driver take a reference on the phy
driver to prevent that?
