Nope, you want something in phy.c like this. Not compiled, not
tested....

int phy_loopback(struct phy_device *dev, bool enable)
{

	int err;

	mutex_lock(dev->mutex);

	if (enable && dev->loopback_enabled) {
	   err = -EBUSY;
	   goto out;
	}

	if (!enable && !dev->loopback_enabled) {
	   err = -EINVAL;
	   goto out;
	}

	if (dev->drv->loopback)
	   err = dev->drv->loopback(dev, enable);

	if (!err)
	   dev->loopback_enabled = enable

	mutex_unlock(dev->mutex);

out:
	return err;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(phy_loopback);

The interesting part is how to handle two attempts to enable loopback.
Should the MAC driver be responsible for preventing that? Or do it in
the PHY driver? And what will the MAC driver do if it gets EBUSY?
Return it to user space?
