Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:

New issues:
- [Low] The `.read` callback in `struct phy_reg_desc` and its default implementation `rtk_usb2phy_read()` are introduced but never used.

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Unaligned MMIO access due to incorrect pointer arithmetic on `void __iomem *` when mapping multiple PHYs.

phy: realtek: usb2: introduce read and write functions to phy_reg_desc struct

This commit introduces read and write function pointers to the phy_reg_desc
struct to support platforms where the vstatus register resides in a big-endian
memory region. It also provides default implementations for existing PHYs.

[Severity: Low]
Does this driver actually use the new read callback?

The vstatus register mentioned in the commit message is write-only in this
driver, and all existing reads appear to continue using readl() directly. Is
this read function needed, or is it dead code?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this pointer arithmetic cause unaligned
MMIO accesses when configuring multiple PHYs?

In parse_phy_data():

    phy_parameter->phy_reg.reg_gusb2phyacc0 = of_iomap(np, 1) + index;

When num_phy > 1, the loop increments index. Since of_iomap() returns a
void __iomem *, adding index directly increments the address by exactly
index bytes rather than the register stride. Could this cause an alignment
fault during device probe on systems with multi-port PHY configurations?
