Hi Heiner

Do you have access to the data sheet?

I had a quick look through the driver. It would be nice to refactor it
to follow the usual Linux conventions:

Turn the MDIO read/write functions into an MDIO bus driver.

Move the PHY code into drivers/net/phy/realtek.c, and in the process,
replace all the magic numbers with #defines.

Do you have any interest in doing this?

   Andrew
