I tried this on my workstation running main, and it works fine so far:

rge0: <RTL8125> port 0xf000-0xf0ff mem 0xfcc00000-0xfcc0ffff,0xfcc10000-0xfcc13fff at device 0.0 on pci11

    vendor     = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'                                                                                                             
    device     = 'RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller'             
    class      = network  
    subclass   = ethernet

Thank you for working on this.
