Subject: [PATCH net] net: phy: mscc: fix deadlock in vsc85xx_default_config

The vsc85xx_default_config function called in the vsc85xx_config_init
function which is used by VSC8530, VSC8531, VSC8540 and VSC8541 PHYs
mistakenly calls phy_read and phy_write in-between phy_select_page and
phy_restore_page.

phy_select_page and phy_restore_page actually take and release the MDIO
bus lock so __phy_write and __phy_read (which assume that you already
have the MDIO bus lock unlike phy_write and phy_read) should be used for
any call in between the two said functions.

Let's fix this deadlock.

Fixes: 6a0bfbbe20b0 ("net: phy: mscc: migrate to phy_select/restore_page functions")
