This bug only exists because the loop is extremely confusing.

Please fix this by restructuring the loop:

1) Break out this code:

                reg_addr = MII_ADDR_C45 | i << 16 | MDIO_DEVS2;
                phy_reg = mdiobus_read(bus, addr, reg_addr);
                if (phy_reg < 0)
                        return -EIO;
                c45_ids->devices_in_package = (phy_reg & 0xffff) << 16;

                reg_addr = MII_ADDR_C45 | i << 16 | MDIO_DEVS1;
                phy_reg = mdiobus_read(bus, addr, reg_addr);
                if (phy_reg < 0)
                        return -EIO;
                c45_ids->devices_in_package |= (phy_reg & 0xffff);

   into a helper function that takes "c45_ids, bus, addr, i" as arguments
   and returns an error, either 0 or -EIO.  Call it "phy_check_devs_in_pkg"
   or similar.

2) Rewrite the loop as:

        for (i = 1;
             i < num_ids && c45_ids->devices_in_package == 0;
             i++) {
                err = phy_check_devs_in_pkg(c45_ids, bus, addr, i);
                if (err < 0)
                        return err;
                if ((c45_ids->devices_in_package & 0x1fffffff) == 0x1fffffff) {
                        if (i) {
                                /*  If mostly Fs, there is no device there,
                                 *  then let's continue to probe more, as some
                                 *  10G PHYs have zero Devices In package,
                                 *  e.g. Cortina CS4315/CS4340 PHY.
                                 */
                                err = phy_check_devs_in_pkg(c45_ids, bus, addr, 
0);
                                if (err)
                                        return err;
                                break;
                        }
                } else {
                                /* no device there, let's get out of here */
                                *phy_id = 0xffffffff;
                                return 0;
                        }
                }
        }

Thanks.
