I looked at how genphy_c45_read_status() works. If we have
phydev->autoneg == AUTONEG_ENABLE then genphy_c45_baset1_read_status()
is called which sets phydev->master_slave_get. If not AUTONEG_ENABLE
it calls genphy_c45_read_pma() which ends up calling
genphy_c45_pma_baset1_read_master_slave().
So it seems like the .read_status op should be setting master/slave
each time it is called, and not one time during .config_init.
What do you think?
