+/* Workaround for integrated BCM7xxx Gigabit PHYs which have a problem with
+ * their internal MDIO management controller making them fail to successfully
+ * be read from or written to for the first transaction.  We insert a dummy
+ * BMSR read here to make sure that phy_get_device() and get_phy_id() can
+ * correctly read the PHY MII_PHYSID1/2 registers and successfully register a
+ * PHY device for this peripheral.
+ *
+ * Once the PHY driver is registered, we can workaround subsequent reads from
+ * there (e.g: during system-wide power management).
+ *
+ * bus->reset is invoked before mdiobus_scan during mdiobus_register and is
+ * therefore the right location to stick that workaround. Since we do not want
+ * to read from non-existing PHYs, we either use bus->phy_mask or do a manual
+ * Device Tree scan to limit the search area.
