Thanks. Since I need to send a v3 to address comments on another patch in this 
series, I will include this updated commit message in v3.

That is much to short a message for a critical fix.
How about this (AI generated) message. Can I add that during merge?

Subject: [PATCH v2 01/12] net/r8169: fix crash in RTL8168FP init

The rtl8168fp_ops structure was missing the hw_phy_mcu_config function pointer, 
causing a NULL pointer dereference during device initialization when the driver 
attempts to configure the PHY microcontroller.

Add hw_phy_mcu_config_8168fp() as a no-op function since the RTL8168FP does not 
require PHY MCU configuration. This matches the pattern used by other chip 
variants that don't need PHY MCU updates.

Fixes: d9ee71b5f1bc ("net/r8169: support RTL8168 series")
