Why are you reading this same register again, and why are you doing
it with the magic constant "6".  That's not '6', it's 'MDIO_DEVS2'.

The first loop executed here should have read from this address, and
placed the value into the ->devices_in_package.

Again, this isn't '5', it's 'MDIO_DEVS1'.

This looks really like a hack.  You're reading again the same registers,
by hand, that the loop should already be reading properly.

Why not restructure the loop to actually probe naturally for the
presence bits in a way that works on the chip you are trying to make
work?
