IMO none of the masks is correct. All of them should be 0xffffffff.
Nowadays the 32 bit PHYID  is assembled from (MSB to LSB):
22 bits vendor OUI, 6 bit model number, 4 bit revision number
Just the old 8201 doesn't follow this scheme.

With the current masks, a PHYID 0x12348201 would be recognized as
Realtek 8201 too, what's obviously wrong.
