I think you can ingore above error unless it continuously spits
the message.

Since I've tested msk(4) on 88E8053 it should work without any
problems. If it didn't work as expected please let me know.

BTW, I guess the patch which is now old does not contain required
e1000phy(4) changes. Regenerated patch again.
