Following up to my own mail: I have created an updated version of if_rlreg.h (based on information from if_rereg.h from the driver provided by Realtek) and I'll test it for regressions when used to build and use the re driver in -CURRENT. If it works (does not break re used with an RTL8111) I'll proceed to add RTL8125 specific code to if_re.c, again based on information from the driver provided by Realtek. I want to omit duplicate work and if anybody else is interested in this driver or already working on it, I'd like to combine efforts (or might wait for a nearly ready driver to be published).
