I'd like to bring to your attention that the OpenWrt community
has impemented a more complete support for initial register patching
using a extremely similar firmware format.

https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/main/target/linux/generic/pending-6.18/742-net-phy-realtek-add-5G-and-10G-PHY-support.patch

We used 'RTK_PATCH_OP_*' while this series uses only 'OP_*' as
macro names defining the initval patching operations.

As the vendor downstream driver had the operations hard-coded in tables
our community came up with a tool to generate the patching blobs from the
GPL-licensed vendor driver:

https://github.com/balika011/realtek_phy_firmware

Given the similarity I wonder if this code has been taken from Balázs
Triszka work (which clearly predates it) without giving him the due
credit.
