You mean look at they are MDIOBUS_C45, MDIOBUS_C22_C45 or MDIOBUS_C22
and drop MDIOBUS_NO_CAP?

I actually had that. But mmd_phy_indirect() doesn't check
the return code and neither does the __phy_write_mmd() it
actually deliberatly sets "ret = 0". So I wasn't sure. If you
are fine with a changed code flow in the error case, then sure.
I.e. mmd_phy_indirect() always (try to) do three accesses; with
error checks it might end after the first. If you are fine
with the error checks, should __phy_write_mmd() also check the
last mdiobus_write()?
