If you look at all the other supported PHYs, they all consistently use
the same page register across models. Marvell is always 22, mscc is
always 31, vitesse is always 31.

I would say it is a safe bet that all realtek PHYs will use 0x1f for
page select. So please add a patch which renames RTL8211F_PAGE_SELECT
to RTL821x_PAGE_SELECT.

It is best to do this now. I spent a while cleaning up the mess the
Marvell driver had got into with its page select code. Lots of
duplicate code and defines doing the same thing.
