Do we really need this? We can already read/write phy registers using /dev/phyx which imo is quite convenient since it can be accessed with regular md/mw commands. This of course is currently limited to the phys that are actually registered, you can't just bang on MDIO addresses on which no phys are registered. Maybe we could register all phys on a MDIO bus instead of only the used ones?
