thank you for spotting this!

I don't have an RTL8211F datasheet, but I now see what you mean based
on the RTL8211E datasheet.

now that you pointed this out: it seems that I made a similar mistake
with the IP101GR PHY
The datasheet mentions: "Chip will be able to operate after 2.5ms
delay of the rising edge of RESET_N"
However, further down in the datasheet it states: "Set low to RESET_N
pin, for at least 10ms ..."

I'll wait a few days for more comments and then send a fixed version
