I see.
Maybe it would be simpler to just remove it from this series.
Looking at all instances of paged access in r8169, most of them seem to
access the vendor 2 MMD registers. Also the person from Realtek says
that MMD registers are available also on 1gbps PHYs.
Looking at PHY specs for RTL8211 series, all of them (as old as 2009)
seem to document MMD access.
So I think we can safely add .read_mmd() and .write_mmd() methods to
all the PHYs in realtek.c that may be used by r8169, and then we can
change the relevant phy_read/write/modify_paged calls into
phy_read/write/modify_mmd in r8169 according to the formula.
(The relevant accesses being those where page is set to value >= 0xa00.)
What do you think?
