It looks like there are some space vs tab issues here.

Maybe this should be serdes-mux? The SERDES itself should have some
registers somewhere. If you ever decide to make use of phylink,
e.g. to support SFP, you are going to need to know if the SERDES is
up. So you might need to add the actual SERDES device, in addition to
the mux for the SERDES.
