+Subject: [PATCH] net: phy: realtek: mark existing MMDs as present
+
+When using Clause-45 mode to access RealTek RTL8221B 2.5G PHYs some
+versions of the PHY fail to report the MMDs present on the PHY.
+Mark MMDs PMAPMD, PCS and AN which are always existing according to
+the datasheet as present to fix that.
