more instances which could be phydev_{err|warn|info}().

That is unusual. This is normally used by a MAC driver to indicate it
supports asym pause. It is the MAC which implements pause, but the PHY
negotiates it. So this tells phylib what to advertise to the link
partner. Why would a PHY do this? What if the MAC does not support
asym pause?

I don't know of any other PHY which messes with the state machine like
this. This needs some explanation.

Something else no other PHY driver does....
