net: phy: realtek: add utility functions to read/write page addresses
Realtek PHYs implement the concept of so-called "extension pages". The reason for this is probably because these PHYs expose more registers than available in the standard address range. After all read/write operations on such a page are done the driver should switch back to page 0 where the standard MII registers (such as MII_BMCR) are available. When referring to such a register the datasheets of RTL8211E and RTL8211F always specify: - the page / "ext. page" which has to be written to RTL821x_PAGE_SELECT - an address (sometimes also called reg) These new utility functions make the existing code easier to read since it removes some duplication (switching back to page 0 is done within the new helpers for example). No functional changes are intended. Signed-off-by: Martin Blumenstingl <martin.blumenstingl@googlemail.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.
