I remember I had a reason to open-code it, it took me some minutes
to recall it.
phy_read_paged() calls __phy_read_page() that relies on phydev->drv
being set. phydev->drv is set in phy_probe(). And probing is done
after matching. __phy_read_paged() should have given you a warning.
Did you test this patch? If yes and you didn't get the warning,
then apparently I miss something.
