net: phy: fixed: return an error for Clause 45 over 22 reads
The fixed PHY driver does not properly emulate Clause 45 over Clause 22 MDIO reads, and as such, will return bogus values when we access such registers. Return an error when accessing these registers in order to prevent advertising bogus capabilities such as EEE support and such.
