As you say "it's not good" w/o elaborating a little bit more on it:
Do you face any actual issue? Or do you just think that it's not nice?
I'm asking because you don't provide a Fixes tag and you don't
annotate your patch as net or net-next.
Once you provide more details we would also get an idea whether a
change would have to be made to phylib, because what you describe
doesn't seem to be specific to this one PHY model.
