Synchronize paged PHY helpers with Linux v6.17.
Add support for PHY devices that use paged register access by
implementing the following functions:
- phy_save_page(): Save current page number
- phy_select_page(): Switch to a specific page and return previous page
- phy_restore_page(): Restore previously saved page
Also adds read_page and write_page callbacks to the phy_driver
structure to enable driver-specific page handling.
These helpers allow safe access to paged PHY registers by ensuring
proper page selection and restoration,
even in error conditions, which will be used by the Airoha PHY driver.
Are there any users ? If not, this is dead code.
I have checked the latest Linux kernel, and these functions are
currently used by several vendors, including *MediaTek, Airoha, Marvell,
and Realtek PHY*.
Therefore, I believe these APIs are not dead code.
This is U-Boot, are there any users in U-Boot ?
If you plan to use this in a new driver, then please send this together
with the new driver.
