For RTL8261C_CG, the patches will not be lost after resume or soft_reset. They only need to be downloaded again after a power cycle or a hardware reset.
So the fw_loaded flag is intended to avoid reloading the same parameters multiple times during the PHY device lifetime.

Thanks for the clarification, makes sense.
