I'm not so keen on _FIRST. It suggest _LAST would also be valid.  But
that then suggests this is not a bus property, but a PHY property, and
some PHYs might need _FIRST and other phys need _LAST, and then you
have a bus which has both sorts of PHY on it, and you have a problem.

So i think it would be better to have

	enum {
		MDIOBUS_UNKNOWN = 0,
		MDIOBUS_C22,
		MDIOBUS_C45,
		MDIOBUS_C45_C22,
	} bus_capabilities;

Describe just what the bus master can support.
