According to release notes it seems that we can also differentiate
88E211X from 88E218X (via bit 3 in register 1.3):
 88E211X has 0x09B9
 88E218X has 0x09B1

but not 88E2110 from 88E2111
    nor 88E2180 from 88E2181.

These can be differentiated via register
  3.0004.7
(bit 7 of MDIO_MMD_PCS.MDIO_SPEED., which says whether device is capable
 of 5g speed)

I propose creating separate structures for mv88x3340 and mv88e218x.
We can then print the remaining info as
  "(not) macsec/ptp capable"
or
  "(not) 5g capable"

What do you think?
