Maybe add bus and base_addr to the vsc8531_private structure. Then add helpers phy_write_base_phy(priv, reg, val) and phy_read_base_phy(priv, reg). You could also add in: if (unlikely(!mutex_is_locked(&priv->bus->mdio_lock))) { dev_err(bus->dev, "MDIO bus lock not held!\n"); dump_stack(); } Having such code in the mv88e6xxx driver has found a few bugs for me.
