In the previous version you were properly defining a new compatibles
strings for xmdio, but now you don't and instead you runtime select the
operations based on whether MII_ADDR_C45 is set in the register which is
fine from a functional perspective.

If I get this right, the xMDIO controller is actually a superset of the
MDIO controller and has an extra MVMDIO_XSMI_ADDR_REG register to
preform C45 accesses?

If that is the case (and looking at patch 8 that seems to be the case),
you probably still need to define a new compatible string for that
block, because it has a different register layout than its predecessor.

ok, that seems to work since you get the operation based on
MII_ADDR_C45. Thanks!
