This is a common pattern in the C code. This is basically a
re-implementation of

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c#L2432

because this PHY is broken. Being one of the maintainers of the PHY
subsystem, it helps me review this code if it happens to look like the
existing code it is adding a workaround to.

Is there a Rust reason to only have one call?
