Just an update ... the switch does not support reads for the
registers 0x09 and 0x0a, but sets the BMSR_ERCAP bit in BMSR.

A phy_read on register  0x09 or 0x0a fails ... In my case
the drivers/net/cpsw.c returns -1 ... and code in
drivers/net/phy/phy.c:

int genphy_parse_link(struct phy_device *phydev)
{
	int mii_reg = phy_read(phydev, MDIO_DEVAD_NONE, MII_BMSR);

         /* We're using autonegotiation */
         if (mii_reg & BMSR_ANEGCAPABLE) {
                 u32 lpa = 0;
                 u32 gblpa = 0;
                 u32 estatus = 0;

                 /* Check for gigabit capability */
                 if (mii_reg & BMSR_ERCAP) {
                         /* We want a list of states supported by
                          * both PHYs in the link
                          */
                         gblpa = phy_read(phydev, MDIO_DEVAD_NONE, MII_STAT1000);
                         gblpa &= phy_read(phydev,
                                         MDIO_DEVAD_NONE, MII_CTRL1000) << 2;
                 }

[...]

does not check, if phy_read returns with an error ...

Would this be an acceptable patch for it:
