I don't think so. The erratum from the patch needs to be applied on each
SERDES reconfiguration or reset. For example, when replugging different 
SFPs (sgmii - 10g - sgmii interface). Erratum 4_6 is done only once? 
My guess is to put it in mv88e639x_sgmii_pcs_post_config but still I 
need the device product number - maybe embedding a pointer to the 
mv88e6xxx_chip chip inside the mv88e639x_pcs struct would be the cleanest way.
