Please don't name driver-level functions phy_read() and phy_write().
That will collide with networking API functions of the same name and
will make grep-based code searching more difficult.

Also, have you looked at regmap? It has native support for endianness;
it supports regmap_field_read()/regmap_field_write() for abstracting
registers which may be found at different places for different HW;
it offers regmap_read_poll_timeout() so you don't have to pass the
function pointer to utmi_wait_register(). It seems the result would be a
bit more elegant.
