Good catch.  Today was fairly hectic on this end and I had a grand total
of a couple of minutes to look into the problem. :-)

Sure!  From a high level, this driver does not support anything other
than the old-style MDIO interface.  The hardware sets the new-style bit
when support is available, so the driver itself should be able to
determine which style of interface to use at runtime (in theory).
