Did you success with writing some special code? Following patch does
not seem to work for me:


diff --git a/include/asm-generic/io.h b/include/asm-generic/io.h

Should I modify different readw? Path include/asm-generic/io.h sounds
sane to me, so I modified this one.

This is for PHY type 7, AKA "HT".
