Hi Antoine

I've only take a quick look, but i don't see anywhere you look at the
register address and see if it has MII_ADDR_C45 to determine if a C45
transaction should be done, or a C22. The MDIO bus can have a mix of
C45 and C22 devices on it, and you need to use the correct transaction
type depending on the target device/address.
