net: phy: let genphy_c45_read_link manage the devices to check Let genphy_c45_read_link manage the devices to check, this removes overhead from callers. Add C22EXT to the list of excluded devices because it doesn't implement the status register. According to the 802.3 clause 45 spec registers 29.0 - 29.4 are reserved. At the moment we have very few clause 45 PHY drivers, so we are lacking experience whether other drivers will have to exclude further devices, or may need to check PHY XS. If we should figure out that list of devices to check needs to be configurable, I think best will be to add a device list member to struct phy_driver. v2: - adjusted commit message - exclude also device C22EXT from link checking Signed-off-by: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.
