Yes, understood.

Ok then let's implement like below.

Ok, as per the table 6 in the spec, PHY C45 registers are mapped in the 
MMS like below,

PHY – PCS Registers (MMD 3)  --->  MMS 2
PHY – PMA/PMD Registers (MMD 1)  --->   MMS 3
PHY – Vendor Specific and PLCA Registers (MMD 31)  --->  MMS 4
PHY – Auto-Negotiation Registers (MMD 7)  --->  MMS 5
PHY – Power Unit (MMD 13)  --->  MMS 6

MMD 13 for PHY - Power Unit is not defined in the mdio.h. So in the 
below code I have defined it locally (MDIO_MMD_POWER_UNIT). May be 
needed to do this in the mdio.h file when coming to this patch.

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.8-rc7/source/include/uapi/linux/mdio.h

Hope you are expecting like below? I believe this time the code will not 
get mangled. If happens then sorry for that.
