well, phy register writes never worked on H3 SoC and newer, so there is 
no specific commit which broke it. So nothing to put to Fixes: tag.

I'm not sure it qualifies for stable too. Citing guidelines:

 >It must be obviously correct and tested

I was only able to test it on handful of A40i boards and on one A20 board

 >It must fix a real bug that bothers people

this bug for certain bothers *us*, but our users won't benefit from 
porting this fix to stable.
I didn't find reports on this bug from other people.
I think unfortunately not many people are using mainline kernel on these 
SoCs.
