  Instead of open coding a paged read, use the phy_read_paged function
in rtlgen_supports_2_5gbps.

I remember I had a reason to open-code it, it took me some minutes
to recall it.
phy_read_paged() calls __phy_read_page() that relies on phydev->drv
being set. phydev->drv is set in phy_probe(). And probing is done
after matching. __phy_read_paged() should have given you a warning.
Did you test this patch? If yes and you didn't get the warning,
then apparently I miss something.

Yes, you are right, this change was a bit too naive and causes a
NULL pointer dereference e.g. for the r8169 driver which also uses
the RealTek Ethernet PHY driver.
My main concern and original motivation was the lack of mutex protection
for the paged read operation. I suggest to rather make this change
instead:

Subject: [PATCH] net: phy: realtek: make sure paged read is protected by mutex

As we cannot rely on phy_read_paged function before the PHY is
identified, the paged read in rtlgen_supports_2_5gbps needs to be open
coded as it is being called by the match_phy_device function, ie. before
.read_page and .write_page have been populated.

Make sure it is also protected by the MDIO bus mutex and use
rtl821x_write_page instead of 3 individually locked MDIO bus operations.

We have helpers phy_(un)lock_mdio_bus() for this.
Apart from that: LGTM
