I don't know if issues have been reported, but the realtek driver has
had problems in the past when the generic driver is used. Take a look
at r8169_mdio_register(), it does something similar to DSA.

What is going to make things interesting is that phy_attach_direct()
is called in two different contexts. During the MAC drivers probe, it
is O.K. to return EPROBE_DEFER, and let the MAC driver try again
later, if we know there is a specific PHY driver for it. But when
called during the MAC drivers open() op, -EPROBE_DEFER is not
allowed. What to do then is an interesting question.
