That deserves a comment next to the definition of the macro.

I'm not sure it's a safe assumption that every PHY has a PHY XS block.
That said, I've not seen any that don't. mdio45_probe() should work out
which blocks are there, if you can set up an mdio_if_info for it.

It would be nice if someone would try to improve integration between
mdio/mii and phylib rather than duplicating logic and interfaces. I'm
afraid I'm not going to be spending time on MDIO, though, since we've
putting PHY drivers in firmware rather than on the host now.
