Thanks.

I haven't reviewed the driver, but the patch itself LGTM from the
point of view that phy_read_status() should definitely only be
called with phydev->lock held.

I think we also need the "Doing it all yourself" section in
Documentation/networking/phy.rst fixed to specify that if you
call this function, you must be holding phydev->lock.

Lastly, I'm wondering how many other places call phy_read_status()
without holding phydev->lock - sounds like something that needs a
kernel-wide review, and then possibly we should introduce a lockdep
check for this in phy_read_status() to catch any new introductions.
