No, mine intention is to read back this three bits what the register contained.

The logic is:
1) read back these three bits from the register.
2) if linux set "realtek,aldps-enable", assert these three bit; if not, keep these three bits read before.
3) call phy_modify_paged_changed() to configure, "mask" parameter to clear these three bits first, "set" parameter to assert these three bits per the result of step 2.

So, if step 1 read back the value is that these three bits are asserted, then in step 3, it will first clear these three bits and assert these three bits again. The result is ALDPS is enabled even without " realtek,aldps-enable " in DT.
