As you are accessing the phy_id in the phy_driver struct, isn't it
already true that this will be initialised to constants such as
PHY_ID_VSC8501 or PHY_ID_VSC8502? In which case, why would you need
to mask it with drv->phy_id_mask ?

What is the purpose of taking this lock? phy_modify_paged() will do its
read-modify-write access and page accesses under the MDIO bus lock,
which should be all that's required to guarantee an atomic update.
