Another way of writing the above is to set "val" to be the value of the
YT8511_DELAY_RX and YT8511_DELAY_TX bits, and then do:

        ret = __phy_modify(phydev, YT8511_PAGE,
                           (YT8511_DELAY_RX | YT8511_DELAY_TX), val);
        if (ret < 0)
                goto err_restore_page;

which moves the read-modify-write out of the driver into core code and
makes the driver code smaller. It also handles your missing error check
on __phy_read() above - would you want the above code to attempt to
write a -ve error number back to this register? I suspect not!
That makes sense, thanks!
I was thinking about how to use __phy_modify with a functional mask,
but it didn't click until I had already sent it in.
Also thanks for catching handling that ret on the read!
