Hi Juergen

0x0 does not help us. We cannot bind a specific PHY driver to that.

This is what i would expect. But i think that means the redirect of
MII_LAN911X_SPECIAL_CONTROL_STATUS to 7 is pointless. The generic PHY
only uses registers below MII_EXPANSION. So unless there is a use of
MII_LAN911X_SPECIAL_CONTROL_STATUS i don't see, you might as well
remove this.
