Generic PHY
The GenericPHY is a PHY / MII device which supports both the MDIO interface
and the PHY interface for sending/receiving ethernet frames.
The GenericPHY device class by default enables support for BASE10, BASE100
and BASE1000 transfers.
To only enable specific speed modes, the constructor accepts arguments:
-
base10:1
-
base100:1
-
base1000:1
If any of these are set, the unset ones will be disabled.
Thus by default a PHY supports all BASE10, BASE100 and BASE1000 modes. By setting the base10 argument, only BASE10 modes will be supported. By setting base10 and base 100 arguments, only BASE10 and BASE100 will be supported.
At present it is not possible to control the support on a lower level.
